EUR/USD analysis for 16/04/2018:
The geopolitical situation is the most important fundamental issue the global investors should focus on these days.The missile attack on targets suspected of linking to a chemical attack from a week ago did not make panic on the financial markets yet. Investors are waiting for the situation to develop, although the subdued reaction of Russia does not force aversion of risk. US President Trump warned the Syrian government that the US is ready to strike again if the chemical attack repeats itself. President Putin, in a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, said that the world will witness “chaos” if the attack on Syria is repeated.
Let’s now take a look at the EUR/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. After a failure to break out above the 61% Fibo the market dropped towards the level of 1.2320 and made a new low at the level of 1.2297. Since then the price is locked in a tight horizontal zone between the levels of 1.2297 – 1.2395 and the momentum indicator is hovering around the neutral fifty level. The market participants might be now in a waiting mode to see how the fundamental situation is developing.
