EUR/USD: frozen ahead of the US midterm elections, falling wedge sighted on the daily
|- The EUR/USD is comatose around 1.14 ahead of the US midterm elections.
- Markets are pricing a split congress.
- A Republican majority in both houses could bode well for the USD.
The EUR/USD is flatlined around 1.14 and may revisit the recent low of 1.13 if the Republicans secure a majority in both chambers.
To start with, the markets are pricing a split Congress - Democrats to take House and Republicans to retain the Senate.
As a result, a Republican majority in both houses may embolden Trump to pursue more aggressive nationalist and isolationist policies. Hence, the USD could pick up a bid, although the EUR/USD may defend the key support of 1.13 as Trump has little room for a further fiscal splurge.
On the other hand, a Democrat majority in both chambers would also be a surprise and could trigger a political turmoil in Washington, leading to risk aversion and losses in the USD. As a result, the EUR/USD could beat the upper edge of the wedge, confirming a bearish-to-bullish trend change.
