The Fed chiefs noted significant uncertainty regarding Trump\u2019s effect on the economy. Due to this, the regulator is to wait and see what happens when Trump takes office and then maybe make a change to the interest rates.

Now the market participants have their sights set on Friday\u2019s NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls). The euro is strengthening to look like a complex wave formation. This means that after the update of the maximum, we should expect a sharp U-turn downwards.<\/p><div id=\"inves-154385710\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p>As a support we have the trend line and the 45<sup>th<\/sup> degree.

Source: TradingView dollar<\/p>\n<p>Intraday forecast: minimum: 1.0481 (current Asian), maximum 1.0563, close: 1.0514.<\/p>\n<p>Before new year the buyers chased the price up into the heavens on the thin market: above the U3. On 3<sup>rd<\/sup> January the sellers dragged it back down to earth and below. Volatility on the market remains high.<\/p>\n<p>The euro in Asia has lifted to 1.0540. The strengthening of the currency stopped around 180 degrees and the U3 line. The MA line U3 is a strong resistance, so I don\u2019t reckon we\u2019ll see a growth above 1.0565 today. After a renewal of the maximum, market participants are beginning to prepare for Friday\u2019s payrolls. Taking the complex wave structure from a minimum of 1.0390 into account, after a renewal of the maximum, a drop to 1.0478 (in Asia on 6<sup>th<\/sup> January) is expected. A break in the trend line will cancel out any scenario for growth.<\/p>\n<p>For me, a break in the line is a close of the hourly candle below the line. If the next candle again closes above the line, then we\u2019re talking about a false break and the line corrects according to the last minimum.<\/p>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\">Source: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/alpari.com\/en\/analytics\/reviews\/market_sessions\/17601_05012017\/\">EUR\/USD: correction expected from the MA line U3<\/a>&#8220;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0Gabriel Ojimadu, Alpari Previous: The year of the rooster has begun with a fall for the euro against USD and GBP.
