Struggles to extend recovery above 1.1530

The EUR/USD pair holds onto Monday’s gains slightly above 1.1500 during the European trading session on Tuesday. The major currency pair trades firmly as the US Dollar (USD) has come under pressure ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy announcement on Wednesday.

As of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades marginally lower to near 99.70.

Investors expect the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged in the current range of 3.50%-3.75% as the Middle East conflict-driven spike in the oil price has prompted inflation expectations in the entire world.

In the policy meeting, investors will pay close attention to cues regarding how long the Fed could hold interest rates steady at their current levels.

Meanwhile, the Euro (EUR) demonstrates a mixed performance in the countdown to the European Central Bank’s (ECB) interest rate decision on Thursday. The ECB is anticipated to leave interest rates steady. Latest comments from a slew of ECB officials showed that they are not encouraged to any monetary policy adjustment, as inflationary pressures have remained broadly close to the 2% target.

EUR/USD technical analysis

EUR/USD holds onto gains near 1.1510 at the press time. The pair extends a medium-term decline beneath the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around 1.16, keeping the near-term bias bearish while price holds below this dynamic cap.

RSI hovers in the mid-30s after recovering from oversold territory, showing weak momentum and only a modest loss of downside pressure rather than a firm bullish shift.

Immediate resistance emerges at the three-day high of 1.1530, followed by the 1.1630 area where the 20-day EMA converges as a stronger barrier. A daily close above 1.1630 would be needed to ease downside pressure and open a recovery toward 1.1690. On the downside, initial support aligns with the recent 1.1415 low, with a break exposing 1.1360 and then 1.1300 as the next bearish targets.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
