EURUSD Stabilises Following Fed Decision and Oil Softening

Key Takeaways -EURUSD rebounded from 1.1478, stabilising near 1.1523 after a sharp post-Fed sell-off. -The Fed kept rates at 3.50–3.75% but signalled higher tightening risk, supporting the dollar. -Softer oil prices and the US-Iran interim deal provided short-term support for EURUSD. -Resistance sits near 1.1547–1.1588, while support levels are 1.1519 and 1.1506. -Price momentum depends on Fed commentary, US inflation, oil trends, and Middle East developments. EURUSD edged higher after sharp declines, recovering from a two-month low around 1.1478. The move came amid a hawkish Fed hold at 3.50–3.75%, with traders pricing an 85% chance of another rate hike in December 2026. A strong US dollar and elevated Fed expectations weighed on the pair, while softer oil prices and news of a US-Iran interim deal eased some pressure. Macro and Geopolitical Drivers Key factors influencing EURUSD include US inflation readings, Fed policy guidance, oil price fluctuations, and the unfolding US-Iran peace deal. A cooler inflation print or easing energy costs could provide further relief to the euro, while hawkish Fed communication or geopolitical risks may strengthen the dollar. Market participants are closely monitoring retail sales and upcoming ECB commentary to gauge potential shifts in momentum. Technical Analysis and Trading Levels The euro is trading near its short-term moving averages, with the 5-period MA at 1.15231, the 10-period MA at 1.15218, and the 20-period MA at 1.15188. Immediate resistance lies at 1.1547, with stronger targets at 1.1588 and 1.1615. Support is at 1.1519 and 1.1506, with the recent low of 1.1478 marking a critical downside level. A move above resistance could signal renewed euro strength, while a breach of support may allow the dollar to regain momentum. Trading Outlook EURUSD remains range-bound between 1.1519 support and 1.1547 resistance in the short term. Traders should watch for a decisive break in either direction, as it may establish the next near-term trend. Cross-market dynamics, including oil and dollar index movements, remain key considerations for positioning.
