FX.co ★ Forecast for EUR/USD on September 4, 2023

EUR/USD

The short-term battle of speculators with the release of US employment data ended in favor of the dollar bulls. The dollar index rose by 0.58%, US government bond yields increased (from 4.25% to 4.30% for 5-year bonds), and stock markets closed mixed. The euro lost 66 pips, reaching the target support at 1.0774. Is this a signal or condition for a medium-term decline? At the very least, we need to wait for the price to settle below 1.0774. Next, we need to confirm a reversal of the S&P 500. In other words, the initial conditions may only arise by tomorrow. If this doesn't happen, the euro may rise again, attempting to surpass 1.0931 (MACD line).

We currently have a downtrend on the daily chart, so the nearest target is the level of 1.0692. Overcoming this target could result in the pair aiming for the 1.0483-1.0552 range, which includes the descending price channel line and the Fibonacci retracement level.

There is also potential for a bullish scenario, indicated by the emerging convergence between the price and the Marlin oscillator.

On the four-hour chart, the price has paused at the target support of 1.0774. Consolidating below this level will allow the price to reach the target at 1.0692, but the euro can only reach this level if the stock market remains weak.
