Euro is hurrying events

The euro is tired of falling, but is it capable of rising? Danske Bank notes that the seasonal decrease in wind power in Europe potentially disrupts the stability of the energy market in the eurozone and has a negative impact on EUR/USD. The company recently projected the main currency pair's fall to 1.03, and an upward rebound was clearly not part of its plans. In reality, the EUR/USD pair's fate does not depend on the wind.

At the end of the week, by June 9, the EUR/USD bulls decided to launch a counterattack. They took advantage of "sell the euro on rumors of a recession in the eurozone and buy the fact," as well as the surge in US unemployment benefit claims. However, these drivers pale in comparison to the May US inflation data and the FOMC meeting. The pair's fate will become clearer after these events.

Despite the unexpected interest rate hikes in Australia and Canada, investors still expect a pause in the Federal Reserve's monetary tightening cycle in June. It is more likely that the rate will remain at 5.25%, with FOMC forecasts indicating higher values. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will emphasize the dependence of monetary policy on data during the press conference.

Before the announcement of the results of the Fed's meeting, the market will see the data on US inflation for May. They can either unite the divided Committee or further divide it. The hawks of the FOMC see no reason for a pause in the rate hike process, while the centrists insist on it. They argue that the central bank needs more information to make decisions.

Take note that the Bank of Canada's verdict only momentarily made the market doubt the pause by the Fed. The BoC is often compared to an early indicator of potential danger, with its behavior becoming an example for others. This was the case with the beginning of the monetary tightening cycle and its pause in January. If Ottawa resumes monetary tightening, it is likely that other central banks will do the same.

Support for EUR/USD came from the decline in Treasury bond yields and the S&P 500 entering bullish territory. Such an environment is usually seen as an improvement in global risk appetite and puts pressure on the US dollar. However, the US stock market's performance compared to European ones was one of the drivers of the decline in the main currency pair in May. If the market conditions for equities in the EU and the US remain the same, the euro correction could continue.

Therefore, the week leading up to June 16 promises to be crucial in clarifying the prospects for the main currency pair, and its current growth appears to be a false start.

Technically, on the EUR/USD daily chart, the 1-2-3 reversal pattern is being played back. In this case, a failed breach of the red moving average followed by a drop below the test bar's low at 1.0755 could provide a basis for selling.
