EURUSD hourly chart. Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current situation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did not make a forecast for yesterday, and I would never have predicted an intraday 2.4% drop. Following the ECB meeting, the euro fell to 1.1738 against the dollar. During Draghi&#8217;s press conference, pressure on the euro increased.<\/p>\n<p>At the American session, the price moved to the reversal zone (between lines D3-D4). The fall from the level of 1.1852 was 247 degrees. As the price did not immediately leave the reversal\u00a0 zone, I&#8217;m expecting a fall on Friday to the level of 1.1547 against the backdrop of the general strengthening of the American currency. I&#8217;m awaiting the formation of three bases with a double bearish divergence. If my expectations are justified, then afterwards we can expect a correction to the level of 1.1640.<\/p><div id=\"inves-1551686281\" 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<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\">Source: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpari.com\/en\/hidden_copyright\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">EURUSD: Eurobulls disappointed by ECB meeting<\/a>&#8220;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Gabriel Ojimadu, Alpari Previous: In evening trading the EURUSD pair fell 2.4% after the ECB meeting and Draghi&#8217;s statements during a press conference.
