This week will be particularly important for the EUR/USD, as we will have several macroeconomic data releases regarding the US and the FOMC decision on Wednesday. The weak performance of the equities has been benefiting the US dollar, which has managed to exert pressure on the euro.
However, on the daily chart, we can see that the price has been able to slow down the downward movement near the lower channel boundary. Furthermore, the price has already rejected the bottom of the channel twice. If the price continues to be traded above the channel, the short-term upward movement should be considered.
