EUR/USD Flashes Reversal Signals Ahead of Bessent's Plan

The EUR/USD pair has flashed reversal signals after a powerful move higher, just as markets await further details from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on how to alleviate pressure on the long end of the US curve.

Bessent and Kevin Warsh are set to provide more insight into their plans, which could impact risk appetite and the overall market sentiment. However, the recent move in EUR/USD has been influenced by factors other than traditional monetary policy divergence.

A correlation matrix shows that the strongest five-day relationship with EUR/USD is with US long-term interest rates, at -0.66. This suggests that the move has more to do with the US curve than conventional monetary-policy divergence.

The technical picture for EUR/USD also indicates a potential reversal, as back-to-back gravestone dojis were printed on the daily chart. However, oscillators remain bullish, and price action and momentum are sending conflicting signals.
