Forecast for EUR/USD on April 2, 2025
Open trading account Open demo account

On Tuesday, the EUR/USD pair rebounded from the support zone at 1.0781–1.0797 but failed to rise to the 200.0% Fibonacci level at 1.0857. On Wednesday morning, the pair returned to the 1.0781–1.0797 zone. A rebound from this zone could lead to a modest upward move, but trader activity has been low lately. A break and consolidation below this zone will increase the likelihood of a continued decline toward the 161.8% retracement level at 1.0734.

The wave pattern on the hourly chart has shifted. The last completed upward wave only barely surpassed the previous high, while the most recent downward wave broke the previous low. This indicates a trend reversal to the bearish side. Although Donald Trump introduced new tariffs last week, causing bears to step back temporarily, it's likely that more tariffs will follow this week, potentially allowing bulls to mount a counterattack. However, the bulls are losing momentum day by day.

Tuesday's news failed to support either bulls or bears. The most important report in my view—inflation in the Eurozone—slowed to 2.2% y/y, while core inflation dropped to 2.4%. This gave bears a reason to continue pressing the euro, but the Eurozone unemployment rate fell to 6.1%, which is a positive sign for the euro. As a result, the euro avoided a sharp drop in the first half of the day.

In the U.S., the ISM Manufacturing PMI disappointed, and the JOLTS job openings report was also worse than expected. Despite all of this, neither side was able to create meaningful momentum—yesterday was simply a day of disappointments.

Donald Trump has yet to make any announcements regarding new tariffs, leaving traders on edge. The 1.0781–1.0797 zone remains a key decision point for trading strategy.

The pair showed a slight rebound on the 4-hour chart, but I still expect a reversal in favor of the U.S. dollar and further decline toward the 50.0% retracement level at 1.0696 and the 38.2% level at 1.0575. A more aggressive drop in the euro is unlikely for now, but a 200-point decline would be well within reason. No divergence signals are currently forming on any indicator.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report

This image is no longer relevant

During the latest reporting week, professional traders opened 844 long positions and closed 5,256 short positions. Sentiment among the "Non-commercial" group has returned to bullish—thanks to Donald Trump. Total long positions now stand at 190,000, while shorts are at 124,000.

For 20 consecutive weeks, large players had been reducing exposure to the euro, but for the past 7 weeks they've been cutting short positions and increasing longs. The divergence in monetary policy between the ECB and the Fed still favors the U.S. dollar due to a widening interest rate spread. However, Trump's trade policies are becoming a more significant market-moving factor, as they could have a dovish impact on the Fed's approach and even trigger a recession in the U.S. economy.

News Calendar for the U.S. and Eurozone

  • U.S. – ADP Employment Change (12:15 UTC)

The April 2 calendar includes only one notable event, and its impact may be limited to the second half of the day. However, I'll reiterate: Trump can announce new tariffs at any moment.

EUR/USD Forecast and Trading Recommendations

  • Sell the pair on a rebound from the 1.0857 level on the hourly chart, with targets at 1.0797 and 1.0734.
  • Sell also if the pair closes below the 1.0781–1.0797 zone.
  • Buy opportunities will emerge on a rebound from the 1.0781–1.0797 zone, with a target of 1.0857.

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