EUR/USD analysis and forecast on May 27, 2022

As predicted in my previous review on EUR/USD, the most popular currency pair on Forex developed an upward movement yesterday. This means that market participants have quickly digested the FOMC minutes and resumed the bullish scenario. The fundamental factors also supported the euro bulls. Yesterday, the revised data on US GDP for the first quarter turned out to be below the estimate of -1.3% and actually stood at -1.5%. Against this backdrop, many investors feared that the US Federal Reserve may revise its aggressive approach towards monetary policy and start to ease it.

It is well known that the best way to tackle high inflation is to raise interest rates. However, this method works only when the economy is strong and everything goes according to the Fed's plan. Yesterday's data on GDP in the US showed once again that the world's leading economy is not doing well. Besides, the next two rate hikes of 50 basis points have most likely been priced in by the USD market players. Before moving on to the technical review, let me remind you that today we expect a block of macroeconomic data from the US later in the afternoon. This will include the data on personal income and spending as well as the core personal consumption expenditures price index.

Daily chart

This image is no longer relevant

The bullish candlestick from yesterday with a closing price of 1.0729 was a natural transition from the previous black candlestick with a long lower shadow. On May 25, EUR/USD made an accurate pullback to the broken resistance of 1.0641 and then, following the rules of technical analysis, reversed to the upside. At the moment of writing, the euro bulls have already made an attempt to break above the 50-day simple moving average and the strong resistance level of 1.0750. These attempts have failed so far as the price made a downside pullback from this level and the 50-day MA, even though this movement was very weak. If the pair closes the day above 1.0750, this will certainly confirm the bullish scenario, and a close of the weekly session above 1.0767 will further strengthen it. I will talk about this in more detail on Monday. In case a bearish candlestick pattern appears on the daily chart by the end of the day, the quote may struggle to overcome the 50-day MA and the levels of 1 1.0750 and 1.0767 or may even stop doing this.

Trading recommendations. I usually do not recommend opening new positions on Friday so that they are rolled over to Monday. Despite the fact that the bullish scenario is very likely, it is not a good idea to open buy trades under strong resistance levels such as the 50-day MA and the levels of 1.0750 and1.0767. I advise you to stay out of the market today as this is also an option. We will provide a more detailed technical analysis of EUR/USD on Monday based on the result of the weekly session.

Have a good day!
