EURUSD (4-Hour Chart)
The EURUSD erased most of its daily gains and began to turn south after reaching a daily high of 1.0800 level, as investors continued to react to the US Consumer Price Index report. The pair lost its upside momentum following US CPI rose at an annualized 6.4% in January and 5.6% when it comes to the Core CPI, higher than the expected 6.2% and 5.5% respectively. Moreover, the Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan said, “We must remain prepared to continue rate increases for a longer period than previously anticipated, if such a path is necessary to respond to changes in the economic outlook or to offset any undesired easing in conditions,” which managed to provide a boost for US Dollar, in turn, undermining the pair.
From the technical perspective, the four-hour scale RSI indicator slid back to the neutral area, suggesting that the upbeat market mood has faded. As for the Bollinger Bands, the pair was priced in the upper area and supported by a 20-period moving average, showing that the EURUSD currently has no clear direction to move and investors would carefully reassess the future path.
Resistance: 1.0930, 1.1020
