On Thursday, investors will focus on the ECB chief Christine Lagarde’s press conference, seeking crucial clues about the future trajectory of interest rates.

There’s a consensus that the ECB will likely pause interest rate hikes in the upcoming meeting. However, traders foresee potential cuts totaling approximately 130 basis points throughout the year. Moreover, the likelihood of the first cut in June is nearly 97%.

Elsewhere, data released on Tuesday revealed a decline in Eurozone consumer confidence for January compared to December.

Meanwhile, the dollar pulled back slightly but remained firm due to the Fed’s cautious approach towards interest rate cuts. In her last remarks before the January 31 policy decision blackout period, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly stated that monetary policy is in a “good place,” and it’s premature to expect imminent rate cuts.

Similarly, Fed Governor Christopher Waller emphasized a “careful and slow” approach to rate cuts. James Kniveton, senior corporate FX dealer at Convera, noted that markets no longer expect imminent rate cuts, which is supporting the dollar.

This trend aligns with a broader resistance to rate cuts among major central banks. Kniveton added, “We have seen ECB officials push back on rate cut expectations as well, just like the Federal Reserve.”

On the technical side, EUR/USD has made a lower low after respecting the 1.0900 key resistance level. Consequently, the price is getting closer to retesting the 1.0800 support level. After breaking below 1.0900, the price lingered near the level, pulling back every time bears tried to push it lower.

However, a significant decline came when the price made a bearish engulfing candle at the 1.0900 level. Currently, the price is rebounding and might retest the 30-SMA as resistance. If the SMA holds firm, EUR/USD could soon touch the 1.0800 support.
