EUR/USD Intra-Day Fundamentals: FOMC Federal Funds Rate and 14 pips range price movement

2016-03-16 18:00 GMT | [USD - Federal Funds Rate]

if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for USD in our case)

[USD - Federal Funds Rate] = Interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances held at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight.

==========

"Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee currently expects that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace and labor market indicators will continue to strengthen. However, global economic and financial developments continue to pose risks. Inflation is expected to remain low in the near term, in part because of earlier declines in energy prices, but to rise to 2 percent over the medium term as the transitory effects of declines in energy and import prices dissipate and the labor market strengthens further. The Committee continues to monitor inflation developments closely.

Against this backdrop, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1/4 to 1/2 percent. The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby supporting further improvement in labor market conditions and a return to 2 percent inflation."

EURUSD M5: 14 pips range price movement by FOMC Federal Funds Rate news event :



 

This is not 104 pips price movement by FOMC Federal Funds Rate news event - this is 118 pips for now, and it may be about 200 pips at end-day situation:


 

Why it may be around 200 pips in the end of this day? If we look at H4 chart so the price was fully reversed to the bullish market condition, and 1.1219 level is the key intra-day resistance for possible breakout (and 1.0963 support is the key breakdown level for possible bearish reversal for example). So, we may see more good movement in the near future for example.


 

If we look at daily chart so the situation was not changed so much - the price is still in ranging within 1.1276 resistance and 1.0821 support levels to be within 200-day SMA/100-day SMA ranging area so this high impacted news event (FOMC Federal Funds Rate) is more important for intra-day trading for now other than for daily technical situation or technical analysis.
