Euro Technical Outlook: EUR/USD Multi-Timeframe Analysis
EUR/USD technical analysis shows the euro rebounding off long-term support as the U.S. dollar weakens after the U.S. midterm election results. Michael Boutros, StoneX Media Senior Market Analyst, walks through EUR/USD on the monthly, weekly, daily and four-hour charts and maps the support and resistance zones framing the euro dollar rally. EUR/USD support rests on a 38.2% retracement of the entire 2022 advance, prior weekly closing pivots and a 20-pip zone that held through October, while the 2023 swing high marks the first resistance. Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls report is the next major event risk for the U.S. dollar, where a weaker print may weigh further on the greenback. Eurozone inflation data showed headline inflation ticking up to 4% while core held at 2.5%, keeping inflation concerns alive. Markets are pricing an 81% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December, putting the jobs data at the center of the Fed outlook.

GBP/USD forecast: US Mid-terms, NFP and BoE put cable in sharp focus
The US dollar has been a standout loser in the FX space today. A Democrat-controlled Congress is widely seen as being at least mildly negative for the dollar, partly because of the potential implications for the AI investment story and partly because of the risk of another prolonged government funding standoff, potentially from next summer. This has allowed the likes of the GBP/USD to rally alongside gold and silver.
