JPMorgan's bullish forecast for the EUR/USD pair suggests that the euro may soon achieve the significant resistance of 1.1800. With an impressive streak of upward movement, traders are seeing a compelling opportunity to capitalize on favorable macroeconomic indicators driving this shift, thereby strengthening the euro against the dollar.
What the desk is arguing
The desk posits that the increased positivity surrounding the euro, amplified by strong forecasts from JPMorgan, could potentially drive the EUR/USD toward new heights. The consensus target for March 2026 stands at 1.1800, indicating a widespread anticipation of ongoing euro appreciation.
Supporting this view, several major banks, including Goldman and ING, also project similar targets for EUR/USD, ranging from 1.1800 to 1.1900 by March 2026. The consensus expectation lies in a tight range of 1.1700 to 1.2000, reinforcing the potential for robust movements in the coming months.
