Forecast for EUR/USD on March 21, 2025

On Thursday, the EUR/USD pair continued its decline and closed below the 200.0% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.0857. This suggests that the downward move may continue toward the support zone at 1.0781–1.0797. Trader activity is currently low, so a sharp drop on Friday is unlikely. However, the next target is the 161.8% Fibonacci level at 1.0734. At the moment, the bears are making weak attempts to break the prevailing bullish trend.

The wave structure on the hourly chart has shifted. The last completed downward wave did not break the previous low, while the last upward wave broke the previous peak—but only by a few points. This still points to the continuation of a bullish trend, though a reversal could be imminent, as bulls appear to be running out of steam. Donald Trump's tariffs had placed strong pressure on the dollar in recent weeks, but now bulls may also need a break.

Thursday's fundamental backdrop was noteworthy, although it mainly concerned the British pound. Nevertheless, traders continued to analyze Jerome Powell's comments from Wednesday evening and concluded that the latest round of the euro vs. dollar battle ended in the dollar's favor. The Fed did not signal a stronger dovish stance, and Powell reassured markets about the state of the U.S. economy.

In the second half of the day, the U.S. also released several minor reports, including new home sales (4.26M vs. 3.95M forecast) and the Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Index (12.5 vs. 8.5 forecast). Both supported the U.S. dollar. Given the news flow, I believe the bears attacked too weakly. For now, they have not confidently broken the last low, so there are no clear signs of a bearish trend on the hourly chart.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair reversed in favor of the U.S. dollar following another bearish divergence. Currently, the pair has dropped to the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 1.0818. A rebound from this level would support the euro and lead to a recovery toward the 76.4% retracement at 1.0969. A close below 1.0818, however, would pave the way for a further decline toward the 50.0% Fibonacci level at 1.0696.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report:

During the latest reporting week, professional traders opened 3,424 new long positions and closed 19,772 short positions. Sentiment among the Non-commercial group has turned bullish again—thanks to Donald Trump. The total number of long positions held by speculators now stands at 188,000, compared to 175,000 short positions.

For 20 weeks in a row, large players had been reducing their euro exposure, but now for five consecutive weeks, they've been cutting short positions and increasing longs. The ECB–Fed policy divergence still favors the U.S. dollar due to the interest rate differential, but Trump's policies are becoming the more dominant factor for traders, as they may have a dovish effect on Fed policy and even trigger a U.S. recession.

Economic Calendar for the U.S. and Eurozone:

March 21 brings no significant events. The news flow will not impact market sentiment today.

EUR/USD Forecast and Trading Tips:

Selling the pair was possible on a rebound from the 1.0944 level on the hourly chart, with targets at 1.0857 and 1.0797. These trades can remain open. Buying can now be considered, but I'm still concerned by the strong, nearly uninterrupted rally in the pair. I'm cautious about such one-sided moves and believe the trend is now shifting in favor of the bears.

Fibonacci levels are drawn from 1.0529–1.0213 on the hourly chart and from 1.1214–1.0179 on the 4-hour chart.
