EUR/USD, GBP/USD Show Bullish Continuation Despite USD Rate Hike

EUR/USD

4 hour

The EUR/USD bounced at the support trend line (blue) yesterday despite the interest rate hike in the US from 1.5% to 1.75% for the US Dollar. The rate hike caused price volatility on lower time frames but ultimately the support level persevered. Price is now retesting the resistance trend line (red) and a bullish break could start a potential wave 3 (purple).

The GBP/USD uptrend completed the bearish correction and broke above the key resistance (red) trend line. This sparked the continuation of wave 5 (blue) within wave C (purple). The GBP will have an interest rate decision of its own today.
