RSI moved up, but the price remains below the average values by making an unsuccessful attempt to break the psychological level at 1.1200. Breaking  1.1105 would confirm the downward trend. Support is located at 1.1105 and 1.1045. Resistance is seen at 1.1195 and 1.1280.

 

Yesterday the EURUSD rose with a narrow range but closed in the middle of the daily range, in addition managed to close within the previous day range, which suggests being clearly neutral, neither side is showing control.

 

The pair closed below all three moving averages 10, 50 and the 200-day that should act as dynamic resistances.

 

The key levels to watch are: a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 1.1347 (resistance), a daily resistance at 1.1237, the 200-day moving average at 1.1197 (resistance), and a daily support at 1.1097.
 
The EUR/USD is trading steadily in today's session as market participants anticipate the big decision on Wednesday. Low volatility can be expected in the couple of days before FED decides whether they are raising the interest rate this month. CMP 1.1180.
 

The EUR/USD pair was trading for shortly above the 1.1200 mark during the Europe session, but sloped donward in the afternoon and closed around  1.1160. Having in mind the upcoming Fed meeting tomorrow, the pair might meet 1.0505-1.1060 level or go to 1.1610 – 1.1280 area. This midway situation probably will be solved tomorrow. 

 

EUR/USD marked a decline on Tuesday session and wiped out the gains from the previous session. The euro depreciated by 20 pips against the dollar to 1.1150 after trading within 1.1213 and 1.1149. Bears remain in a leading position with a likely target 1.1105.

 
EUR/USD is trading to the downside on rumors that the FED is setting the stage for December rate hike. The pair is now 1.1133 and market participants are anticipating the FOMC meeting scheduled for 2PM Eastern today.
 

Yesterday the EURUSD tried to rally but found enough resistance to give back all its gains to the market and closed near the low of the day, although managed to close within the previous day range, which suggests being slightly on the bullish side of neutral.

 

The pair continues to trade below all three moving averages 10, 50 and the 200-day that should act as dynamic resistances.

 

The key levels to watch are: a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 1.1347 (resistance), a daily resistance at 1.1237, the 200-day moving average at 1.1199 (resistance), and a daily support at 1.1097.

 

Warning: Later today we have the Fed’s interest rate decision and monetary policy statement so expect high volatility in the currency pair.

 
The long awaited BoJ and Fed's meetings turned to be huge disappointment for the US dollar, as both bankers announced the will keep the interest rates unchanged. Following this the US dollar weakened and the EUR/USD pair dragged to 1.1184. The situation now is neutral to bearish.
