Weak US labour market data released in early November and a fall in inflation recorded last week have bolstered investor belief that the Fed will begin cutting rates as early as the first quarter of next year. As a result of such market sentiment, the US dollar fell against almost all currency pairs. Thus, the euro/dollar currency pair is preparing to test psychological resistance at 1.1000, the pound/dollar pair is re-testing 1.2500, and the dollar/yen pair has fallen below 149.

EUR/USD

According to the EUR/USD technical analysis, using the chaos trading system, we can observe the processing of the reversal bullish movement from November 1st. At the moment, the price has confidently strengthened above the alligator lines on the daily timeframe. If the current situation on the market does not change dramatically, a continuation of the upward movement in the direction of the upper fractals at 1.1150 and 1.1065 may occur. A downward price correction is possible to 1.0820-1.0780.

GBP/USD

On the GBP/USD chart, the British currency, after testing 1.2500 last week, sharply retreated to 1.2370. However, buyers of the pair are not losing hope of gaining a foothold above the mentioned level and testing the important area of 1.2760-1.2700. The pair’s pricing will largely depend on the incoming foundation of the coming trading sessions.
