FX.co ★ Forecast for EUR/USD on January 23, 2023

The stock markets' brisk rise helped keep the euro from nearly an "imminent" breakthrough from the 9-month high. This morning, there is a gap. Even the signal line of the Marlin oscillator was above the divergence line.

We don't know why the S&P 500 rallied by 1.89% on Friday, almost simultaneously (since Thursday) with pension funds contributions being cut to delay the "shutdown", as the US starts a hot period of disputes about the limit of the national debt.

In the meantime, the euro is moving towards the target level of 1.0990. But the gap is open, and if it closes after crossing 1.0990 or if the price doesn't reach this mark, we don't know what will happen. I don't expect the euro to rise above 1.0990, we consider the given growth only as a temporary way out of the general strategy, which involves a decrease in risk appetite.

On the four-hour chart, nothing interferes with growth, except for the window at the opening of the session. The price is above the indicator lines and the Marlin oscillator is in a good position for growth. The growth is expected to be short-term.
