In yesterday’s U.S. currency trading, the U.S. dollar remained the weakest, continuing the trend from the day before yesterday. The EUR/USD pair rose from 1.1632 to 1.1767, breaking through the upper resistance zone marked by the 200-period SMA on the hourly chart. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI rose from 55 to 77.On the daily chart, the pair has set a new high for the month. Since there has been no significant pullback during today’s Asian session, we will be watching for further weakness in the U.S. dollar during the European session.

European currencies rose, with the euro gaining against the yen after Germany’s January ZEW Economic Sentiment Index—released yesterday—came in at 59.6, significantly exceeding market expectations of 49.0 and rising from the previous month’s 45.8.The euro/yen pair rose from 183.771 to 185.464. The 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the hourly chart acted as a support level, causing prices to turn higher. On the 4-hour chart, candlesticks have reached the +3σ level of the Bollinger Bands, and on the daily chart, prices have recovered to a range near the year-to-date high.
