Yesterday the US dollar (USDX) lost its strength as the Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 5.50% for the second consecutive meeting without giving clear clues on what it would do in the future regarding its monetary policy.
Chairman Jerome Powell did not explain if the monetary tightening is over. This makes investors stop taking refuge in the dollar, so they may flock to risky assets such as the euro and all crosses against the US dollar.
According to the daily chart, EUR/USD has maintained bullish momentum since September 27th. The eagle indicator is giving a positive signal. So, the price is expected to reach strong resistance at 1.0742 in the coming days. If this level is overcome, the euro could reach 5/8 Murray at 1.0864 and finally, the psychological level of 1.10.
