The American financial establishment decided not to "shake up" the markets prematurely. The speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday was surprisingly neutral, much like all his previous speeches at Jackson Hole. He only mentioned that the central bank does not plan to lower the rate by 0.5% this year. This was also indicated by the President of the Atlanta Fed, Raphael Bostic, who spoke on the same day. The fundamental and technical factors could perfectly coincide for a reversal at the level of 1.1140, but now we have to wait for another moment. Likely, that day could be the FOMC meeting on September 18. By then, the euro might settle into the target range of 1.1280-1.1310. Since August 1 (1.0777), the euro will have moved more than 500 pips, which could correspond to an absorption of a 0.50% rate cut. American consulting agencies consider a preemptive adjustment from the June low, which would be 630 pips. But the worst is for the euro—its decline could be very strong, especially since the European Central Bank will also lower rates in September and a week earlier. It could even be that the ECB will deliver the initial blow to its own currency.

Exchange Rates 26.08.2024 analysis

On the daily chart, the Marlin oscillator has practically stopped rising, making oscillatory movements at the lower boundary of the overbought zone. We expect the euro's growth to slow down. A fundamental trigger for this could be today's release of U.S. durable goods orders data for July, with a forecast of 4.0%.

Exchange Rates 26.08.2024 analysis

A divergence is forming between the price and the oscillator on the 4-hour chart, which is also cooling the market. After this brief cooling, we expect the euro to rise to the target range of 1.1280-1.1310 (overlapping the high of July 2023).
