Daily Timeframe</p><p>On the daily chart, we can see that the EURUSD pair
couldn’t sustain the bearish momentum below the key 1.05 level and started to
correct higher into a key <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/">resistance</a> zone. In
fact, around the 1.0620 level we can find the <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-confluence-20220318/">confluence</a> of the
downward <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-trendlines-20220406/">trendline</a>, the
38.2% <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-using-fibonacci-retracements-20220421/">Fibonacci retracement</a> level
and the red 21 <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/">moving average</a>. That’s
where the sellers are likely to pile in with a defined risk above the trendline
to position for another selloff into the 1.02 handle. </p><p>EURUSD Technical Analysis –
4 hour Timeframe</p><p>On the 4 hour chart, we can see that we had a <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-divergence-20220429/">divergence</a> with the
<a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-macd-20220427/">MACD</a> right
below the key 1.05 level. This is generally a sign of weakening momentum often
followed by pullbacks or reversals. In this case, the target for the pullback
should be the downward trendline around the 1.06 handle, but if the price
breaks higher, the buyers will have a confirmation of a reversal and will start
to target new higher highs. In case the bearish trend resumes before the price
hit the trendline, the sellers are likely to pile in on a break below the counter-trendline
around the 1.0515 level. </p><p>EURUSD Technical Analysis –
1 hour Timeframe</p><p>On the 1 hour chart, we can see the
short-term price action with a couple of key levels for the buyers. In fact, we
might see them stepping in around the 1.0558 level, where we can find the
previous <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-polarity-20220408/">resistance turned
support</a> and the red 21 moving average to target a rally into
the 1.0620 resistance. More conservative buyers may want to wait for the price
to take out the recent high around the 1.0584 level before joining the rally.
Alternatively, the buyers can wait for the price to come into the
counter-trendline where they will have a much better risk to reward setup. </p><p>Upcoming Events</p><p><a href="https://www.forexlive.com/EconomicCalendar">This week</a> the market is likely to focus on the CPI
report as that’s what might change the expectations around the next FOMC rate
decision. Today, we will see the US PPI data and later in the day the FOMC
Meeting Minutes. Tomorrow, it will be the time for the US CPI report, and at
the same time we will also get the latest Jobless Claims figures. On Friday we conclude
the week with the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment report.</p>
