The Forex Pairs to Watch: Technical & Fundamental Overview
EUR/USD: Range Trading Dominates While Markets Await Fed Comment
– The Euro remains relatively flat against the U.S. Dollar as investors await new guidance from the Federal Reserve.
– Markets have priced in a possible 25-basis-point cut by the Fed in September, but uncertainty remains about data dependency.
– Last week’s U.S. GDP release showed slower-than-expected consumer spending, reinforcing the case for easing.
– Technically, the EUR/USD has been trading in a narrow channel between 1.0810 and 1.0935.
– Key resistance lies at 1.0945, while strong support can be found near 1.0800 and 1.0745.
Outlook:
– A bullish breakout above 1.0945 could target 1.1000 initially.
– On the downside, a break below 1.0800 opens the door towards 1.0700.
– Eurozone inflation figures on July 31 and U.S. PCE inflation on August 1 are likely to provide new direction.
GBP/USD: Bullish Pullback or Start of a New Trend?
– The British Pound has shown considerable resilience despite weaker-than-expected retail sales data and a soft housing market.
– GBP/USD is hovering near 1.3060 with stronger resistance at 1.3140. The uptrend remains intact from the breakout near 1.2850.
– While the Bank of England remains cautious, markets are pricing in a possible rate cut in Q3 due to rising unemployment and slower wages growth.
– UK manufacturing and services PMIs due during the week will be crucial in determining short-term Sterling direction.
Outlook:
– Breakout above 1.3140 could extend gains toward 1.3250.
– A failure to hold 1.3000 would likely attract sellers targeting 1.2850.
– Broad sentiment appears neutral to slightly bullish, pending BOE policy clarity in August.
USD/JPY: Yen Weakness Persists Despite BoJ Intervention Expectations
– The USD/JPY continues to trade above 156.00, with growing speculation of Bank of Japan intervention to curb the Yen’s decline.

– Technical indicators show the pair testing a multi-decade resistance at 157.50, with strong RSI divergence evident.
– The BoJ’s passive stance compared to aggressive tightening by other central banks has widened interest rate differentials.
