EURUSD forecast

On the H4 EURUSD chart, the market has completed a corrective wave structure to 1.0420. Today, 20 December 2024, we expect a downward wave to develop towards 1.0330. Subsequently, a correction to the level of 1.0430 is anticipated. After the correction, the market is expected to decline further towards 1.0240, the local target.

This pivot is considered key for the EURUSD rate in this wave of decline. At present, the market has rebounded downwards from the central line of the price envelope at 1.0533 and is forming a wave structure towards its lower boundary at 1.0330. Once this level is reached, a correction to 1.0430 is expected, with the potential for the upward structure to extend towards the upper boundary of the price envelope at 1.0490.
