EUR/USD bias flipped 14 times to weak bearish on September 16, 2026
The Federal Reserve issued its September 2026 FOMC statement announcing a rate increase, keeping market focus on U.S. monetary policy as the U.S. dollar gained momentum. At the same time, the euro remained under pressure after Eurozone sentiment and trade data failed to inspire, while ECB policymakers noted that Eurozone inflation is expected to remain high amid the energy crisis. Attention is now on the technical levels in play for EURUSD following the Fed decision.
