EURUSD - One step up - one step downIt's just amazing to see on different time frames how the price actions can be so confusing if we just looking one time frame. If you don't care with the fundamental data which is right now at this moment were the initial jobless claims, which to be honest doesn't really show us any surprise it's became neutral, its indicating that the ranging what we can see on 4H time frame will continue. At the same time at 4 :00 PM within 15 minutes we will get some housing data which is going to show us the new building permits , then ongoing sales, and that's how we can use this fundamental data to take some directions for the rest of the day. Until this data will come the market just doing what the technicals are dictating to it. It's between the daily time frame has an ascending triangle formation, which is at this crucial long-term support levels only allowing us Traders to make bad decisions right now either you going to take along or short Your Position will quickly became green and then suddenly red, red and then suddenly green. ( not to mention the ethics option expiries on this day which is also another element in this market what I just starting to discover ) But it's 4:00 p.m the direction will change and it's going to be that your position will be very green or very red just because of you didn't want to wait for for the fundamental data even though you wasn't forced to take a position. That's what we call gambling. But gambling and being smart and getting ahead of the competitors which are the other Traders hedge funds Banks Pension funds whoever, is just a slight difference. Personality I think that if I can find this narrow route, inside in this blurry word of trading, maybe one day I can be among the best just like you. Thank you for reading- ElGatoTrade

If somehow its will show a sudden spike in claims the EURO will get relieffed. 14:30 USD Continuing Jobless Claims 1,873K 14:30 USD Initial Jobless Claims 220K 217K www.investing.com I do not support Donald Trump since he's policy & politics is against Europe who's already in big trouble so hes won was literally the last spike in Europe ballon, eventough I do agree with many of his thoughts at the same time he's not even a threat for Europe but for his own country since hes future steps will broke USA from the debt side. Now everyone is feel that they are sitting in the winning boat although its already sinking . Thats the base- GO EUROPE - STOP the MIGRATION and we will be a better place. CASE1- Spike in US Initial Job Claims - EUR= 1,590 initial based on interest rate parity 60DAYS forward contract. CASE2- Job market shows resilience - May we continue the raging 1,0480-1,0560 for an other week. ( Require more technical approach this scenario at tha same time extreemly dangerous distrobution zone, those whos are out better to stay out until its gets cleared. VALID FOR 1W. Case-3 - Job data shows extreme resilience : New claims is below 170K- In this case EUR will target straight down to 1,04400 and may further downfrom this level -1,5% .

EUR/USD Summary October + Most important Economic events Thursday, October 10, 2024 14:30 USD Core CPI (MoM) (Sep) 0.2% 0.3% 14:30 USD CPI (YoY) (Sep) 2.3% 2.5% 14:30 USD CPI (MoM) (Sep) 0.1% 0.2% 14:30 USD Initial Jobless Claims 229K 225K 19:00 USD 30-Year Bond Auction 4.015% In case there is no negative surprise in the US data I do believe that this is the most realistic scenario. 1. Technical Indicators (Charts Analysis) 4Hour Chart: The EUR/USD shows a recent downtrend with the 50 and 200period moving averages (MA) pointing downwards. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on this timeframe is in the oversold area but not deeply, which may suggest a possible shortterm bounce, but the downtrend could continue if the RSI doesn’t move back above 50. 1Day Chart: Here, EUR/USD also shows a downward trajectory. The RSI is just under 50, indicating weak momentum. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is in a negative territory, confirming bearish pressure. The downtrend could continue, given the position of the RSI and CCI. Weekly Chart: The larger trend on the weekly chart shows some stabilization, with the 200week MA acting as a potential support level. However, RSI around 51 on this timeframe suggests neutral momentum, which could imply that any major movements are more likely influenced by economic fundamentals. 2. Economic Data Impact Recent economic data from the U.S., such as Nonfarm Payrolls and ISM Services PMI, came out strong, which generally strengthens the USD. Meanwhile, the European inflation data, including the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), indicates slightly higherthanexpected inflation but hasn’t significantly impacted the EUR. Given the strong U.S. economic indicators and the uncertainty in Europe, the USD is showing resilience, which adds pressure on the EUR/USD pair to stay bearish or rangebound unless European data strengthens significantly. 3. Interest Rate Parity Consideration Using interest rate parity (IRP), which factors in the interest rate differential between the EUR and USD, we can anticipate some pressure on the EUR/USD. Currently: The Eurozone’s interest rate is 4%, while the U.S. interest rate is 5%. With a higher interest rate in the U.S., investors might prefer holding USD assets, which would lead to a lower EUR/USD exchange rate as the EUR depreciates relative to the USD over time. Projection: What Could Be the Next Move? 1. ShortTerm: Based on the 4hour and daily technical indicators, there could be a shortterm bounce in EUR/USD if it reaches an oversold level, but the overall trend still appears bearish. The 50 and 200 MAs act as resistance zones. 2. Medium to LongTerm: With the interest rate differential favoring the USD and current U.S. economic strength, EUR/USD may continue to face downward pressure. The weekly support around the 200 MA could potentially provide some stability, but if this level breaks, further downside could be expected. 3. Fundamental Trigger: If there is any unexpected dovish statement from the Federal Reserve or stronger than expected Eurozone economic data, it could provide some support to the EUR. Otherwise, USD strength is likely to dominate, keeping EUR/USD bearish. In summary, EUR/USD may see a shortterm bounce, but the overall bias remains bearish due to the interest rate differential, strong U.S. economic data, and technical indicators signaling weakness. Let me know if you'd like further clarification on any part of this analysis.

Second Try of Break outIn the last two weeks, we have observed that FX:EURUSD is earnestly trying to establish a new base, aiming to finally take off. Unfortunately, this cannot happen if certain variables don't change urgently. If not, EURUSD faces significant downturns repeatedly. What are these variables? First and foremost, US inflation needs to decline more sharply. This could occur if the job market cools down, or in other words, if we start to see lay-offs. It's not widely discussed that fewer people are entering the job market. This is primarily because there aren't many suitable candidates in the US who are both qualified for the available jobs and willing to work. Job vacancies can be misleading . While the number of jobs requiring extensive knowledge and education is on the rise, job vacancies remain high. Naturally, in the event of a serious recession, these vacancies will diminish until the economy finds a new equilibrium." US goverment bonds TVC:US10Y TVC:US02Y The fact that nobody willing to buy them is driving up the yields which is supporting very strongly the TVC:DXY we need to see bond yields falling which is honestly higly unlikely right now. Altough... We are just 14 minutes away to receive the Initial Jobless Claims. Forecast is ONLY 212K - If we wanna see the euro flying we need to see around 300 and above . DO NOT FORGET that today at 18:00( Budapest - Time ) Fed Chair Powell Speaks. Trade Safe- ElGato

FED vs ECB - Soft Landing As of today Thursday, December 14, 2023- ECB ( European Central Bank ) at 14:00 PM ( Budapest Time GMT+1 ) will disclouse their interest rate decision in the following categories. 11:00 EUR EU Leaders Summit 14:15 EUR Deposit Facility Rate (Dec) 14:15 EUR ECB Marginal Lending Facility 14:15 EUR ECB Monetary Policy Statement 14:15 EUR ECB Interest Rate Decision (Dec) Over the last 2Mto 1M , depending on the data frequency, such as weekly or montly we have observed that, generally speaking, inflation is under control in the Eurozone. Therefore, any further rate hikes from the ECB are absolutely unnecessary and would cause serious issues in the Italian and German economies. Even though a rate hike would cause an immediate surge in EUR/USD, which is certainly in my interest since I hold a long position, in the case of a rate hike, I would close it nearly immediately. I expect that today the ECB will keep interest rates unchanged to allow time for the effects of their previous measures to fully transmit into the economy
