EUR/USD Weekly Outlook: Market Awaits ECB to Set Direction he EUR/USD pair failed to test the ultimate support of $1.08 and returned to $1.10 instead, suggesting there are no extremely dovish expectations from the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting and there is a chance that the central bank will disappoint again.

The European calendar is filled with data in the coming week, although most are minor indicators with little impact expected on the euro. On Monday, German factory orders for January are expected to improve modestly from December's levels.

Tuesday will bring industrial production from Germany and Spain, with the euro zone's GDP print for the fourth quarter released shortly afterward. The quarterly change should stay at 0.3% in the fourth quarter, while the yearly print is expected to remain at 1.5%.

On Thursday, the anticipated ECB meeting is due, where the central bank is expected to ease monetary policy further. However, the ECB must be very careful not to disappoint markets as it did back in December when easing was announced, and mitigated by a strong rise in the euro.

"The euro picked up strength on Friday after a report suggested a lack of consensus at the ECB before its policy meeting next week. The report from MNI cited ECB sources as saying the central bank was ready to make further cuts to the deposit rate but that there was indecision over other unconventional measures that could be taken to address the ongoing low inflation," Jasper Lawler, market analyst at CMC Markets UK, said in an email on Friday.

Volatility will be most likely extreme after the decision, but it is impossible to predict the reaction as the consensus about the steps will not be unanimous. Therefore, chaotic trading may result.

EUR/USD forecast for the week of March 7, 2016 The EUR/USD pair had a very volatile week, but by the time we closed on Friday we did up forming a bit of a hammer. The hammer of course is a very positive sign, so if we can break above the top of that candle, it’s very likely that we will grinder way to the top of the shooting star from a couple of weeks ago. That’s roughly 1.14 level. It still probably easier to trade this market from the shorter-term standpoint, but it does look like the buyers are starting to take over again.
