Breaking forecast for EUR/USD on March 9, 2023

Jerome Powell's speech led to a slump in the single currency and forced investors to revise their attitude toward the current state of affairs. Against the backdrop, all the macroeconomic reports were ignored yesterday. Notably, a lot of information was issued. Thus, the third estimate of the eurozone GDP was worse than the previous one. The economic growth contracted to 1.8% from 2.4%. This means that Europe may slip into a recession. Meanwhile, US employment increased by 242,000 instead of 191,000, thus pointing to further improvement in the US labor market. Both reports should have led to the appreciation of the greenback but the market got stuck. Investors are trying to predict the future actions of the Fed.

Today, the market is likely to remain stagnant if the forecasts for the US unemployment claims meet reality. A change is expected to be insignificant. Thus, the number of initial claims may increase by 2,000, whereas the number of continuing claims may drop by 5,000. Such figures will hardly revive the market. However, traders should keep in mind that the US dollar is overbought and it may unexpectedly drop.

The euro is stagnant but may rebound against the US dollar after a bearish rally recorded on March 7. Short positions have become overheated amid a sharp price change. This points to the euro's oversold conditions in the short-term periods.

On the one-hour chart, the RSI managed to leave the oversold area thanks to the current stagnation. On the four-hour and daily charts, the indicator is hovering in the lower area of 30/50, which points to the mainly bearish sentiment among traders.

On the four-hour and daily charts, the Alligator's MAs are headed downwards, which corresponds to the existing cycle. On the one-hour chart, the indicator is pointing to a pause in the downward cycle as MAs are intersecting each other.

Outlook

The current stagnation within the range of 40 pips could be considered an accumulation process. This, in turn, may spur an outgoing impulse, indicating the price direction.

The complex indicator analysis unveiled that in the short-term period, indicators are signaling mixed opportunities amid stagnation. In the intraday and mid-term periods, indicators are still providing a bearish signal.
