Waiting for the Fed: EURUSD set to explode!

When the entire market is focused on the upcoming Fed meeting, EURUSD looks like an athlete that has fully warmed up and is just waiting for the starting whistle. The current context slightly favors the euro, as the Fed is expected to cut rates soon after a series of weakening labor data, while Eurozone GDP and inflation remain relatively stable. With U.S. interest rates trending lower and the ECB not too dovish, conditions are quite supportive for the euro to regain strength against the USD.

On the H4 chart, price has repeatedly bounced from the lower boundary of the ascending channel and the Ichimoku cloud, showing that the main trend is still upward. The area around 1.1630 acts as a near support level, aligning with the trendline and the upper edge of the cloud, meaning any pullback here is more of a buying opportunity rather than a reversal signal.

The preferred scenario is that if price holds above 1.1630 and forms a strong bullish candle, EURUSD may continue climbing towards 1.1680, which is the previous high and a short-term resistance zone. In short, with both fundamentals and technicals aligned, the sensible strategy right now is to wait for a retest of support to buy with the trend, instead of trying to call a top in a market still driven by bullish fundamentals.
