EUR/USD — hourly market overview
As of 12:39 UTC, 17 October 2026. The latest supplied candle is from 16 October, 16:00 UTC; the pair’s weekend market is closed.
Price action
The hourly structure has recovered substantially from the sharp 14 October fall, which reached roughly 1.1113. The rebound carried EUR/USD to 1.12695 on 16 October. It then pulled back to about 1.1212 before recovering to the latest supplied close of 1.12387.
That leaves the short-term picture mixed: the broader rebound remains intact, but price has retreated from the recent high and has not yet retested it. The 14 October selloff and reversal also mark a period of unusually high volatility in the supplied candles.
Approximate areas to monitor
- Support:1.1210–1.1220, near the latest pullback low; below that, 1.1185–1.1200 is a broader area of prior trading.
- Resistance:1.1255–1.1270, around the recent swing high. A sustained move above this area would improve the near-term recovery structure; failure to regain it could leave price consolidating or vulnerable to another pullback.
These are approximate chart zones, not guaranteed turning points.
Macro context
Recent central-bank policy has been relatively tight on both sides: the ECB raised its key rates by 25 basis points in September, citing inflation pressures, while the Fed also raised its target range by 25 basis points, to 3.75%–4.00%. On 16 October, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said he would not prejudge upcoming rate decisions. This policy and inflation backdrop may influence the euro–dollar rate differential and currency sentiment, but it does not determine the pair’s next move.
Bottom line: EUR/USD remains well above its 14 October low, but the latest candles show a pullback from the 1.127 area followed by a partial recovery. Whether price holds the 1.1210–1.1220 area or regains the recent highs may help clarify the next short-term direction.
