EUR/USD ahead of FOMC minutes (December): No major hints are expected

During December’s Fed meeting, the central bank decided to hike rates by 25 basis points in a move that was done mainly because the credibility should remain intact in the Fed, despite US election’s outcome. Also, Fed’s Chairwoman Janet Yellen stated that Trump’s victory didn’t influence on the rate increase by the central bank and she added that the economy is strong enough to support a rate hike. Today at 19:00 GMT will be released the FOMC minutes from such meeting.

Our technical analysis for EUR/USD at H1 chart is calling for more downsides, as the pair plummeted during Tuesday’s session after strong data from the United States and it’s now testing the support zone of 1.0382. If the pair manages to break below that zone, then we can expect further weakness below the 1.0350 handle. However, if EUR/USD does a rebound over that demand zone, a rally towards the 1.0463 level could be followed in coming days.
