EUR/USD Forecast – Euro Plunges Overnight Only to Recover

Euro vs US Dollar Technical Analysis

You can see we’ve been all over the place during the trading session on Friday and that does make sense as there was a lot of fear out there as Israel hit Iran in the latest tit-for-tat escalation. That being said, it appears that it was very minor and somewhat well calculated just a face saving exercise more than anything else. And it appears that the markets have calmed down as a result. So, at the end of the day, we have found ourselves basically where we started. And quite frankly, that may not be a bad thing. After all, we have to go into the weekend and of course, nobody really knows what happens while we cannot react in our portfolios.

The Iranians may strike back, and we may get chaos again. From a technical analysis perspective, it’s obvious that the 1.07 level above is important. It was once support, so it should now be resistance. Underneath, the 1.06 level offers support. So I think at this point in time, we will probably stay in this 100 point range until we get some type of momentum building fundamental announcement, some type of event, anything to get the markets moving. In the short term, it’s a lot of back and forth, reversing to the mean type of action. In other words, you will be trading short-term and small as far as I can see in the near term.
