Over the past 24 to 48 hours, the EUR/USD pair has shown notable strength, edging up approximately 0.33% from yesterday’s closing price of 1.16882, nearing the 1.1700 level, and reaching an intraday high of 1.17217. This upward momentum was primarily driven by fresh international peace developments, notably Israel and Lebanon signaling readiness for peace talks, boosting risk appetite and weighing on the US dollar.

Moreover, the US dollar has been under pressure recently, especially amid challenges to the traditional petrodollar trade, causing investors to pivot toward the euro and other currencies. With easing geopolitical tensions and close monitoring of US-Iran peace negotiations, EUR/USD found support around the 365-day moving average, showing resilience on the upside.

For average investors, this means the forex market is currently benefiting from improving global political dynamics, enhancing the euro’s attractiveness relative to the dollar. In the short term, investors can watch this euro rally fueled by peace optimism. However, given potential volatility stemming from the energy sector and ongoing geopolitical factors, it remains crucial to stay attuned to upcoming developments.

Daily Chart

Looking at the daily chart, EURUSD maintained a consolidation range recently but yesterday broke decisively above 1.17, holding above its 50-day (~1.1647) and 200-day (~1.1676) moving averages. Bollinger Bands show mild expansion indicating elevated volatility. The MACD is beginning a bullish crossover, signaling strengthening upward momentum. Overall, the daily trend is shifting from range-bound to breakout mode, suggesting scope for further upside.

1H Chart

The hourly chart over the past 3-5 days shows EURUSD gaining firm support around the 4-hour 365 EMA level. Price action oscillated between 1.1685 and 1.1720, with the MACD histogram flipping positive, indicating short-term bullish momentum buildup. Bollinger Band midline is gradually rising with multiple touches near the upper band, hinting at a short-term move towards the 1.1750 resistance. Recent bullish engulfing candlesticks strengthen the case for near-term gains.

Technical Trend:  The current EURUSD trend is best described as cautiously bullish, with optimism tempered by potential short-term volatility risks.

Technically, the daily MACD bullish crossover and Bollinger Band expansion suggest a strengthening intermediate uptrend. On the hourly timeframe, support at the 365 EMA consolidates short-term gains, while bullish candlestick patterns confirm buyer dominance. Although volume hasn’t surged significantly, improved risk appetite supports the rally. Market risks remain if US data surprises on the upside, potentially triggering short-term pullbacks; monitoring key support levels is thus crucial.

Today’s economic calendar includes key Eurozone data releases such as Germany and Norway Consumer Price Indices and Industrial Production, along with an ECB member’s speech between 08:00 and 12:00 (GMT+1), which could influence EURUSD sentiment. Later, at 14:30 (GMT+1), critical US data including CPI and Core CPI will be announced. Stronger-than-expected US inflation figures may bolster the dollar, pressuring EURUSD lower; weaker data would likely support the euro. Traders should plan for heightened volatility around these times.
