Important Takeaways for EUR/USD and USD/JPY Analysis Today

EUR/USD Technical Analysis

On the hourly chart of EUR/USD at FXOpen, the pair struggled to clear the 1.0900 resistance zone. The Euro started a fresh decline and traded below the 1.0810 support zone against the US Dollar, as mentioned in the previous analysis.

The pair even declined below 1.0760 and tested the 1.0720 zone. A low was formed near 1.0719 and the pair is now consolidating losses. On the upside, the pair is now facing resistance near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.0901 swing high to the 1.0719 low at 1.0760.

There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at 1.0760 and the 50-hour simple moving average. The next key resistance is near the 1.0780 level.

The main resistance is 1.0810 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.0901 swing high to the 1.0719 low. A clear move above the 1.0810 level could send the pair toward the 1.0860 resistance.

An upside break above 1.0860 could set the pace for another increase. In the stated case, the pair might rise toward 1.0900. If not, the pair might resume its decline. The first major support on the EUR/USD chart is near 1.0720.

The next key support is at 1.0680. If there is a downside break below 1.0680, the pair could drop toward 1.0650. The next support is near 1.0620, below which the pair could start a major decline.

FTSE 100 Index Declines After Labour Market News

The British stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) dropped nearly 1% yesterday due to the release of economic data indicating a rise in unemployment.

According to ForexFactory:
→ The Claimant Count Change (number of unemployment benefit claims) was 50,000 (expected = 10.2k, previous month = 8.4k). This is the highest number since March 2021.
→ The unemployment rate slightly increased to 4.4% compared to the previous value of 4.3%.
However, today the FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) chart is showing signs of recovery.

Fundamentally:
→ GDP news did not bring any unpleasant surprises;
→ Weakening in the labour market might prompt the Bank of England to lower the interest rate to stimulate the economy, which should support the stock index.

USD/CAD Retracts from Nearly 2-Month High

Yesterday, the USD/CAD exchange rate climbed above 1.3785 for the first time since mid-April.

However, today's USD/CAD chart shows that it failed to consolidate at this peak and has dropped to a weekly low.

These fluctuations might be interpreted as traders positioning themselves ahead of today's critical events. According to ForexFactory:

At 15:30 GMT+3, US inflation data will be released;
At 21:00 GMT+3, the Fed's interest rate decision will be announced;
At 21:30 GMT+3, Powell's press conference will take place.

Inflation Data and Fed Verdict Could Set Dollar's Summer Trend

The US currency is gearing up for the most important trading session of the current week, and possibly even the month. Today, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for May will be released. Additionally, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has a meeting scheduled today where the base interest rate will be announced, along with the regulator's dot plot forecast for the rest of the year. Considering that last Friday's employment data exceeded forecasts, many investors and experts (according to an FT-Chicago Booth survey) believe that:

• The Fed will reduce rates by only a quarter of a percentage point this year;
• Instead of three cuts, economists and traders are pricing in up to two rate cuts by the end of the year.

Naturally, such hawkish market expectations are likely to support the strengthening of the US currency. However, it should be noted that the dollar is currently at medium- and long-term highs, and the likelihood of a pullback and the formation of reversal patterns is quite high.

Dollar Falls After Inflation Data: Is a Change in Medium-Term Trends on the Horizon?

The second consecutive decline in the US core consumer price index caused a sharp drop in the American currency across the board. For instance, the GBP/USD pair rose by 120 points within a couple of hours, attempting to strengthen above 1.2800. The EUR/USD pair closed Monday's “price gap” and tested 1.0850, while the USD/JPY pair briefly traded below 156.00. However, a change in medium-term trends remains highly uncertain. The Fed meeting and the publication of an updated economic forecast by the US regulator allowed the dollar to quickly recover some losses.

From yesterday's Fed statement:

• The target range for the federal funds rate remains at 5.25–5.50%;
• The median forecast by FOMC members suggests one and a half rate cuts for the federal funds rate (compared to three in the March forecast).

From the published data, it can be inferred that the Fed maintains a fairly hawkish stance, which could support buyers of the US currency.

S&P 500 Index Hits Record After Major News

Yesterday, significant news regarding US inflation was released. According to ForexFactory:
→ Year-on-year Consumer Price Index (CPI): actual = 3.3%, forecast = 3.4%, previous = 3.4%;
→ Month-on-month CPI: actual = 0.0%, forecast = 0.1%, previous = 0.3%;
→ Month-on-month Core CPI (excluding food and energy): actual = 0.2%, forecast = 0.3%, previous = 0.3%.

These official figures indicate that US inflation is slowing down.

This bolstered expectations that the current tight monetary policy might ease. Consequently:
→ the dollar weakened (as we anticipated yesterday while analysing the USD/CAD chart);
→ stock markets surged. Notably, the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) surpassed 5,444, rising approximately 1.1% within two hours following the inflation news release.

Later that day, the Fed's rate decision and Powell's press conference took place:
→ the Fed rate remained unchanged at 5.5% (as expected);
→ Jerome Powell signalled a possible rate cut before the end of the year, hinting at the possibility of two cuts.

• The British Pound is showing bearish signs below 1.2800.
• There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near 1.2765 on the hourly chart of GBP/USD at FXOpen.
• EUR/GBP is declining and showing bearish signs below 0.8460.
• There is a major declining channel forming with support at 0.8410 on the hourly chart at FXOpen.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis

On the hourly chart of GBP/USD at FXOpen, the pair started a fresh decline from the 1.2860 zone. As mentioned in the previous analysis, the British Pound struggled to extend gains and declined below the 1.2800 support level against the US Dollar.

There was a clear move below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.2706 swing low to the 1.2860 high. The pair even settled below the 1.2765 level and the 50-hour simple moving average.

The pair tested the 1.2740 support zone and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.2706 swing low to the 1.2860 high.

It is now consolidating losses above the 1.2740 level. On the upside, the GBP/USD chart indicates that the pair is facing resistance near 1.2765 and a connecting bearish trend line. The next major resistance is near the 50-hour simple moving average at 1.2780.

A close above the 1.2780 resistance zone could open the doors for a move toward 1.2825. Any more gains might send it toward 1.2860. If not, the pair could resume its decline below 1.2740. On the downside, there is a key support forming near 1.2710.

If there is a downside break below the 1.2710 support, the pair could accelerate lower. The next major support is near the 1.2690 zone, below which the pair could test 1.2650. Any more losses could lead the pair toward the 1.2550 support.

NZD/USD Exchange Rate Falls from Nearly 5-Month High

The NZD/USD exchange rate has dropped from its highest level in nearly five months. On Wednesday, following the release of US inflation data, the NZD/USD rate exceeded 0.6220 for the first time since 15 January 2024.

However, today the rate has fallen approximately 1.3% from Friday’s peak, suggesting that the market's reaction to the US inflation news was overly emotional.

According to Reuters:
→ Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated a readiness to keep rates steady until clearer economic signals suggest a need for cuts.
→ Traders have reduced the likelihood of a Fed rate cut at the September meeting.

Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand does not plan to cut rates at all in 2024. According to Trading Economics, any rate cuts are unlikely before mid-2025.

Thus, the policies of the two central banks are balanced, and the current drop from nearly a 5-month high may be a return to a more balanced valuation after an emotional surge into overbought territory.

The RSI indicator supports this view.

European Stock Indices Decline Amid Political Uncertainty

Today, the Eurostoxx 50 index (Europe 50 on FXOpen) has dropped below the early May minimum, reflecting escalating market concerns over the upcoming French elections, as reported by Reuters. Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire's acknowledgment that the current political crisis could evolve into a financial crisis has amplified fears, extending the political risk until June.

How long might this decline persist?

Fundamentally, statements from authorities could calm the markets.

Nikkei Index Falls Below 38,000 Points This Month for First Time

According to today's Nikkei 225 (Japan 225 on FXOpen) chart, the index quote dropped below 38,000 points at Monday's low, followed by a recovery (shown by an arrow).

One of the drivers of the decline was the automotive sector, whose shares led during the downturn. In particular, according to Reuters, Toyota Motors' shares fell by more than 2% as the company faces difficulties due to a certification scandal. Japanese national broadcaster NHK reported that Toyota will extend the production halt for some models until the end of July.

The fact that the Nikkei 225 (Japan 225 on FXOpen) price is recovering after dropping below the 38,000 mark suggests a false bearish breakout below this psychological level.

Nasdaq 100 Index Reaches 20,000 Points for the First Time

On 30 May, we noted some uncertainty in the price behaviour of the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) near the resistance level of 18,840, as shown by arrow #1.

Following this, the price declined and tested the former resistance at 18,250 (indicated by arrow #2) – the long lower shadow on the candle indicated aggressive demand (more details in the article on the Hammer pattern).

This test gave the bulls confidence to break through the 18,840 resistance.

In June, the price continued to rally within the ascending channel (shown in green), which is part of a larger ascending channel (shown in blue), driven by:
→ prospects for AI implementation;
→ prospects of Fed rate cuts.

Yesterday, the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) rose by approximately 1.2%, reaching the psychological level of 20,000 points. This record was supported by influential analysts raising their forecasts for US stock markets. For example:
→ Goldman Sachs raised the year-end 2024 target for the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) from 5200 to 5600;
→ Evercore ISI increased its forecast for the same index from 4750 to 6000.

Market sentiment was also buoyed by the anticipation of several comments from FOMC members scheduled for this week. These might confirm the Fed's intention to cut rates as early as September this year.

European Currencies Adjust to Support Levels: Is Growth Possible?

A week rich in macroeconomic data contributed to the decline of the euro, yen, and pound. Notably, the following events were significant:

• Inflation falling for the second consecutive month (0.2% against the expected 0.3%);
• The publication of the updated forecast from the Federal Reserve (one reduction in the federal funds rate by 0.25%, presumably in September).

Nonetheless, despite the hawkish stance of the Federal Reserve and the steady slowdown in inflation, European currencies managed to stay above key levels relative to the dollar, even laying the groundwork for forming reversal patterns.

TSLA Shares Revive After Shareholder Meeting

Last week, Tesla held a shareholder meeting where the main events included:
→ Shareholders approving Elon Musk’s $56 billion compensation package in TSLA stock options;
→ Relocating the company’s legal headquarters to Texas;
→ Elon Musk’s statements on robotics, asserting that Optimus robots could make Tesla a $25 trillion company.

Approving the massive compensation eliminated the risk of Musk leaving the company (which would likely have caused a sharp drop in TSLA stock price). The billionaire thanked shareholders and today, 18 June, posted on X (Twitter) announcing that he is working on a new master plan for Tesla’s development, likely focusing on the prospects of Optimus robots.

Additionally, news emerged about the launch of Tesla Model 3 sales at a new price in China. This spurred activity in the TSLA stock market.
