Since the macroeconomic calendar was absolutely empty, the euro returned to its local high and may climb even higher amid the US statistical reports, especially the GDP data for the fourth quarter of 2022. The initial estimate is likely to show a slowdown to 1.6% from 1.9%. This could hardly be considered a positive factor for the greenback. Since there are more and more rumors about an inevitable recession, a slowdown in economic growth may only fuel fears. That is why the GDP data is enough to spur a further decline in the US dollar. What is more, forecasts for the US unemployment claims are also gloomy. Thus, the overall number of claims may increase by 16,000. In particular, the number of initial claims may surge by 12,000, whereas the number of continuing claims may increase by 4,000. In other words, all the forecasts are negative. If the predictions come true, the euro will soar to new local highs.
US GDP Growth Rate

Outlook
If the price consolidates above 1.0940 at least on the four-hour chart, the volume of long positions will increase. In this case, the mid-term uptrend is likely to continue, allowing the pair to approach the psychological level of 1.1000.
The alternative scenario presupposes a bounce off the local high like it was on January, 23.
