The euro enters the Friday session after the ECB raised its rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%. Christine Lagarde pointed to more resilient inflationary pressure, and the market continues to price in the possibility of further policy tightening. However, the decision itself was already largely factored into prices, so support for the euro proved limited.
The price test of 1.3551 occurred as the MACD indicator began moving down from the zero line, confirming the right entry point to sell the pound. As a result, the pair fell about 15 pips. The pound traded calmly during the day. The absence of important US data kept the dollar in a narrow range, and other pairs moved cautiously with it. In my view, until meaningful drivers appear, GBP/USD will most likely continue to tread within tight boundaries.

The euro is approaching the European Central Bank’s decision with a nearly fully priced-in 25 basis point rate hike. The signal regarding future meetings will be more important for further movement. Persistent risks of rising energy prices and the resilience of the eurozone economy allow market participants to expect continued monetary policy tightening until the end of the year.
