EUR/USD Forecast March 14, 2016 The EUR/USD pair initially fell during the course of the session on Friday, turning back around to form a bit of a hammer. The hammer of course is a very bullish candle, so if we can break above the top of a believe that the market should continue to go higher, perhaps reaching to the 1.13 level given enough time. Ultimately, this is a market that certainly looks like it’s ready to break out to the upside, perhaps even going higher than we’ve recently seen and reaching towards the 1.15 level. We do not have any interest in selling at the moment.

EUR/USD Weekly Outlook: Pair Bullish Heading Into FOMC Decision Most of this week's attention will focus on the Federal Open Market Committee monetary policy decision due on Wednesday, which will most likely bring significant volatility.

The European calendar starts on Monday with industrial production for January expected to improve both on the monthly and yearly basis. Tuesday will bring only French CPI for February, which will be overlooked by market participants.

European data will continue on Thursday, when the euro zone CPI for February will be released. It should not cause any significant volatility as the European Central Bank had its meeting a week ago.

There are some important figures from the US throughout the week, with retail sales and PPI indices expected on Tuesday, with CPI inflation indices for February following on Wednesday. Moreover, housing starts and building permits will be released on this day, along with capacity utilization and industrial production, both for February.

More importantly, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce the interest rate decision and market participants are not expecting any changes to monetary policy, but the focus will be on the so-called dot plot and economic projections, where the Fed might sound dovish and/or negative.

Euro/dollar was volatile yesterday. The outlook remains bearish for now, but as long as the price holds above 1.1065, the pair is still in the upward phase targets near the trend line resistance, localized around 1.1300. On the downside, a clear break below 1.1065 will become a threat to the bullish phase targets near 1.1000 or lower. Resistance for the day is 1.1125 (yesterday's high). A clear break above it could trigger further bullish pressure testing 1.1200. The main technical outlook remains neutral.
