31.07.2025

In the U.S. currency market the previous day, the U.S. dollar—having weathered the FOMC meeting—reached its strongest level during U.S. trading hours. The EUR/USD pair fell from 1.1571 to 1.1400, moving downward along the 20-period moving average on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, a band walk along the -2σ Bollinger Band was observed, while the daily chart showed a fifth consecutive day of decline. The RSI fell sharply from 60 to 32. We will be watching closely to see if the U.S. dollar maintains its strength during today’s U.S. trading hours.

Among European currencies, the euro fell against the pound. The EUR/GBP pair dropped from 0.8659 to 0.8610. It fell as it encountered resistance at the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the pair is currently hovering just below the 200-period simple moving average (SMA), with the market in the midst of either a break below the 200-SMA or a rebound from it. On the daily chart, the euro has been falling for three consecutive days. We will be watching price action during European trading hours to see if the euro, which has been falling against the pound, will recover.
