200-day MA: 1.0880 (bullish crossover occurred in late March – momentum has sustained since).
Next Resistance Levels:
R3: 1.1852
R4: 1.2060 These are realistic medium-term targets if 1.164 holds.
Macro/Geopolitical Context
Euro Strength Drivers:
ECB Hawkish Tone: The European Central Bank has remained cautious on premature rate cuts due to sticky core inflation, supporting the euro.
German PMI Beat: Recent economic prints from the eurozone—especially Germany—have shown stabilization, helping underpin euro demand.
Dollar Weakness Catalysts:
Middle East Tensions:
While oil typically boosts USD via risk aversion, recent de-escalations between Iran and Israel are calming safe-haven flows.
The USD is weakening on reduced war premium, and capital is rotating back to risk-friendly currencies like the EUR.
US Macro Softness:
Mixed job data and signs of disinflation are keeping pressure on the Fed to pivot, weakening the USD outlook.
Political uncertainty in the U.S. (Trump legal issues, election volatility) is creating a drag on dollar strength as well.

Final Word
Euro FX Futures remain in a structurally bullish phase, with macro and geopolitical factors aligning in its favor—namely a weakening USD on risk-normalization and a stable eurozone policy backdrop. As long as the price stays above 1.161 and trendline support holds, pullbacks remain buyable.
