Gjallarhorn has the short positions on Euro recording the loss.

 

The currency pair EUR/USD fluctuated in Bollinger Bands and retreated as the geopolitical risk rose at the end of the last week.

 

The pair began to drop along the bottom band of Bollinger Bands in the four-hour chart. And it left a long head candle. They imply the more retreat in the week. It may fall to 1.1283, the price level before the ECB president’s press conference.

 

The euro fluctuated between the upper band and the bottom band about a week then it fell along the bottom band against the dollar in the one-hour chart as the week ended.

 

The euro failed to exceed the 20 moving average in the weekly chart after surge three weeks ago. It stepped down against the dollar for the continuous two weeks. It seems the euro may fall to the long-term trend line, 1.1230s. And it can retreat to 1.1177, the price in June 2020.

 

The geopolitical risk in Ukraine called the risk-off sentiment. And the over-night risk made the greenback rise last week, the one of the safe-haven Japanese yen fell though.

 

The Dollar Index tracking the greenback against the six peers rose to 96.099 or 0.04 percent last week.

 

Tony Blinken, the Secretary of State said, he would talk with his counterpart Sergey Lavrov in the week if Russia didn’t invade Ukraine.

 

Though Russia claimed its withdrawal after the drill, the United States and Europe countries assume that the Russian troops are increased. They estimate there are some 150thousand troops around the Ukraine .

 

Charles Evans, the president of Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago spoke the Fed should hike the interest rate but might restrain the additional tightening policy if the inflation risk was eased. He added the present monetary policy was incorrect and needed to be revised at the annual monetary policy forum.

 

John Williams, the president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York said he supported the interest rate hike in March. He said, the Fed had adjusted the monetary-policy stance, and finished the tapering the first and the rate hike next.

 

The market participants are convinced the Federal Reserve will hike the benchmark rate in March. The members of FOMC show their hawkish stance explicitly.

 

The FOMC member and the St. Louis Federal Reserve president, James Bullard has emphasized he preferred 10 bp rate hike till July. He also spoke the Fed should respond to the inflation recorded high in 40 years.
