Midweek technical look on Gold, EUR/USD, USD/JPY [Video]
The technical analysis of key currencies, including EUR/USD, remains neutral this midweek as traders evaluate potential price movements. With EUR/USD currently trading at 1.1446, market sentiment is watching for cues from both the ECB and upcoming economic data. This analysis is crucial now as it may signal shifts in positioning ahead of major central bank meetings and potential volatility in the forex market.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target is 1.1684 (median across 12 firms), with Morgan Stanley at the upper end of the spectrum at 1.2000 and Danske Bank at the lower extreme with a target of 1.1200. The current spot price indicates a significant divergence from the consensus, emphasizing the need for careful market analysis moving forward.
How firms align
Firms like Societe Generale and RBC show targets of 1.1700 for March 2026, aligning closely with the headline's technical view. Conversely, firms like Danske Bank maintain a more bearish outlook, targeting 1.1200, reflecting concern over economic conditions.

Market implications
Traders should monitor the 1.15 level for potential resistance; a break above could signal continued bullish action. Key calendar events this week include ECB speeches which could influence sentiment and positioning. Our consensus target at 1.1684 remains the focal point for assessing medium-term trajectories.
