  • The EUR /USD pair declined on Wednesday as dollar rose across the board after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and signal a faster past of hikes next year.
     
  • The Fed raised interest rates by a quarter point and signaled a faster pace of increases in 2017 as the Trump administration takes over with promises to boost growth through tax cuts, spending and deregulation.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0644 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0596, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0644.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0554, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0522.
