Of course, the growing tension and confrontation in Europe, caused by the decision to hold referendums on joining the Russian Federation of four more regions, as well as the partial mobilization announced yesterday by Vladimir Putin, put pressure on the single European currency. And not only on it, but on almost all financial instruments. In fact, there is now a massive flight of capital to the United States, which leads to even greater strengthening of the dollar. The Federal Reserve's decision to raise the refinancing rate by 75 basis points, and the subsequent statement by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell about the justification for further tightening of monetary policy, only strengthens this process. Yes, Powell acknowledged the fact that inflation is slowing down, but noted that this is happening much more slowly than expected. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to raise interest rates. From this follows the conclusion that during the next meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the refinancing rate will again be raised by 75 basis points.

Refinance rate (United States):

Nevertheless, we should not forget about the excessive overbought dollar. So for its further growth, the market needs to release steam, in the form of a noticeable rebound, or a local correction. It is quite possible that this is what will happen today. The reason will be the Bank of England's decision on the refinancing rate, which can be raised by 50 basis points. Such results of the central bank's meeting can certainly push the pound to grow, and given the market's need for a rebound, it will pull the single currency along with it.

Refinancing rate (UK):

The EURUSD currency pair, after walking along the 0.9900 level for 3.5 weeks, managed to stay below it in the daily period. This difficult step led to the prolongation of the long-term downward trend, where the quote was again at the levels of July 2002.

The RSI H4 technical instrument, due to the intense downward movement of the price, turned out to be below the level of 30, which indicates a signal about the oversold euro.

The MA moving lines on Alligator H4 and D1 are directed downwards, which corresponds to the trend direction.

Expectations and prospects

In this situation, there is an overheating of short positions in the euro, which from the point of view of technical analysis can lead to a price pullback. In this case, a reverse move to the previously passed 0.9900 level is possible.

A comprehensive indicator analysis in the short term indicates a long position due to a pullback emerging in the market. Indicators in the intraday and medium-term periods are focused on a downward trend.
