The European Central Bank (ECB) has raised interest rates by 25 basis points, marking its tenth consecutive rate hike since July 2022 and bringing the total increase to 450 basis points. The ECB is primarily concerned about high inflation levels, both current and projected, with concerns extending into the future. GDP growth projections for the eurozone have been revised downward for 2023, but the ECB views this as a temporary slowdown rather than a long-term issue. The rate hike represents a compromise to address both inflation worries and a weakening growth outlook. While future rate hikes are not completely ruled out, economic uncertainties make them unlikely, and the ECB will assess the impact of recent rate increases before considering further action.
EURUSD - D1 Timeframe
As seen from the chart, EURUSD on the daily timeframe dropped further into the pivot zone following the release of the ECB rates decision, creating the third consecutive low of a double divergence. Considering this, in conjunction with the bullish array of the moving averages and the presence of the pivot zone, it seems safe to expect a bullish price action going forward.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 1.08401
Invalidation: 1.06039
EURNZD - D1 Timeframe
The attached chart reveals that EURNZD has been trading inside a rising channel for some time now, with its most recent move being a touch of the support trendline. Considering how the trendline and the 50-day moving average align perfectly on top of each other, I hope to see the bullish pressure resume in the market successively.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 1.82887
Invalidation: 1.79437
EURCHF - D1 Timeframe
EURCHF, at the moment, is completing a retest of the demand zone yet again following the release of the ECB rates decision. This, for me, is often an indication of a reluctance of price to ‘move on’ from the demand zone, implying a likelihood of a breakout. In this case, however, I will follow the price action closely on the lower timeframe in search of clues as to the direction price intends to go.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 0.96384
Invalidation: 0.94550
