Pair closed last week’s trading session lower on better than expected US economic releases and hawkish FOMC minutes. The pair resumed its downside move during last week’s trading session as traders and investors are pricing-in 0.5% rate hike in the next FED meeting. There were no comments from ECB’s officials regarding any rate hike in their future policy and this let the pair in the mercy of US Dollar.
As for this week, Traders and investors, will mainly focus on the economic calendar and the speeches from both ECB’s and FED’s officials. We are estimating that current EURUSD exchange rate is already fully priced-in the 0.5% rate hike, and we are expecting the pair to recover some lost ground during this week’s trading session.

In this week’s trading session if pair resumes upside and breaks above 61.8% could change the picture to neutral and re-test 1.0700 Alternatively, if pair continues on the downside we are expecting to test 1.0350 (100%). Our traders are net long with buyers standing between 1.0870 and 1.0600 targeting profits around 1.1000.
