The EUR/USD pair experienced a notable decline on Tuesday, retracing from its recent three-month high at 1.0965, marking the 61.8% Fibonacci level from the daily swing. The retracement has set a target of approximately 1.0830, with a potential extension down to 1.0780, aiming to fill the Value gap created by last week's economic news impact.
The fall in the EUR/USD was influenced by the release of US data on Tuesday, revealing a larger-than-expected decline in Existing Home Sales for October, reaching an annual rate of 3.7 million against the anticipated 3.9 million. Looking ahead, key economic indicators, including the weekly Jobless Claims, Durable Goods Orders, and the final reading of University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment, are set to be released on Wednesday.
Despite these economic uncertainties, the FOMC minutes released on Tuesday provided little new information. Members of the Federal Reserve expressed ongoing concerns about inflation, emphasizing the possibility of further tightening if progress in curbing inflation proves insufficient. However, market reactions indicated a lack of significant response to the minutes.
In light of the economic landscape and the prevailing uncertainties, the EUR/USD pair appears poised for a deep retracement. Traders and investors will closely monitor upcoming economic data releases to gauge the potential impact on currency markets, as the pair navigates through the evolving economic landscape.
