EUR/USD

Neutral Sep 30, 2026, 8:32 PM

Fades 0.2% to 1.1325, holding above 1.13 round number but stalling near multi-month highs; USD/JPY steady at 157.5 signals no fresh dollar collapse to extend the EUR rally.

↘ -0.05% ·  24h · USD

Key insight

1.1325 rejection warns of near-term consolidation; hold above 1.1300 keeps bulls in control, but a daily close below flips short-term bias to a retest of 1.1220 200-day MA.

Main risk

Fed hawkish hold vs. ECB cut divergence

Diverging central bank paths narrow EUR rate advantage; any Fed hawkish signal above neutral drives USD bid and threatens 1.1300 support.
