EUR/USD now looks at FOMC

With most of the euro calendar now out of the way – Wednesday’s docket is almost irrelevant – market participants started to shift their attention to the FOMC meeting due tomorrow. In the view of Eric Theoret, Strategist at Scotiabank, the outlook on the cross remains bullish, adding, “all indicators suggestive of upside, but need to see a meaningful breach of 1.3400 to provide for further gains. Multi-session trend channel suggests support above 1.3320 with resistance beyond 1.3450”.
