EUR/USD Price Analysis: Monthly triangle teases momentum traders near 1.0780 ahead of Fed

  • EUR/USD struggles for clear directions around five-week high inside short-term ascending triangle.
  • Sustained trading above 100-DMA, upbeat oscillators favor four-day uptrend but pre-Fed anxiety challenges traders.
  • Mid-February high adds strength to 1.0800 upside hurdle; Euro sellers can return on 1.0700 break.

EUR/USD treads water around 1.0770-80 as pre-Fed anxiety intensifies during early Wednesday. Adding strength to the cautious mood could be a speech from European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde, as well as an ascending triangle formation established since March 01.

It should be noted, however, that the Euro pair’s successful rebound from the 100-DMA joins the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI (14) line, not overbought, to keep the buyers hopeful.

That said, the area between 1.0800 and 1.0700 currently restricts the EUR/USD pair’s moves. Adding strength to the 1.0800 hurdle is the late January low and February 14 swing high. Hence, the EUR/USD pair buyers have a tough run to the north.

On the contrary, a downside break of the 1.0700 support can quickly drag the quote toward the 100-DMA support level surrounding 1.0595.

Though, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the EUR/USD pair’s run-up between late last November and early February, around 1.0530, can test the bears afterward.

Meanwhile, a successful break of the 1.0800 resistance confluence won’t hesitate to aim for January’s high of near 1.0930 before targeting the Year-To-Date (YTD) high marked in February around 1.1035.
