Opinion
The EURUSD chart on the hourly timeframe (H1) indicates an attempt to break above and remain sustainably above both the 200-period Exponential Moving Average EMA200 (blue line) and the 50-period EMA50 (yellow line), which may be viewed as a technical signal of improving short-term market conditions. At the same time, EURUSD is trading near an important support zone around 1.1580–1.1590. This area has previously seen repeated price reactions. From a technical perspective, the long position assumes a continuation of the rebound, potentially toward the 1.1780 level.
Fundamental factors also support a stronger euro scenario. Dollar weakness is being driven by the sharp decline in WTI crude oil prices (down more than 16% on a weekly basis) amid hopes for a peace agreement between the US and Iran. Lower oil prices reduce inflation expectations in the United States, contributing to a decline in 10-year US Treasury yields to 4.44% and narrowing the dollar’s interest rate advantage. Meanwhile, in the euro area, April CPI inflation rose to 3.0% year-over-year, well above target, while leading ECB officials such as Isabel Schnabel and Philip Lane have signaled the need for a rate hike in June. This limits the scope for monetary easing in Europe and increases upward pressure on the common currency. In this environment, a long EURUSD position at market price appears justified.
Therefore, we recommend taking a long position with a stop loss at 1.1575 and take-profit targets at 1.1710 and 1.1780, assuming that holding above the EMA200 on the H1 timeframe remains the key condition for continuation of the bullish scenario.
