The currency pair EUR / USD on Tuesday, February 26, is moving upwards with great difficulty. However, in general, instrument volatility has been low in recent days, and important macroeconomic data have not been available to traders. There will not be a single important report published in the eurozone and the States today, but today Jerome Powell will give a speech in Congress. The head of the Fed will announce a report on the topic of economics and monetary policy, which is what excites and interests traders most of all. Thus, there are some hopes for increased activity today. The market participants are mainly interested in questions whether there will be a rise in the key rate this year and will the Fed unload its own balance sheet? The topic of inflation in the United States, the trade war and China, and its impact on the economy of the States - will also interest traders. What to expect from the speech of Powell? We believe that if the market receives unambiguous signals, there may be no rate hike this year or that the Fed is ready to complete a program to sell assets on its balance sheet after the QE program, this could put pressure on the US dollar. Otherwise, since Powell has no reason to abruptly change the rhetoric to "hawkish", no reaction to his speech may follow.

Nearest resistance levels:
R1 - 1.1414
R2 - 1.1475

Trading recommendations:
The EUR / USD currency pair continues the weak upward movement. Therefore, formally long positions are now relevant, but the pair is still a big problem with overcoming the level of 1.1365, which can be clearly seen on the chart.
Short positions can be considered after the price is fixed below the moving average. In this case, the trend in the instrument will change to downward, and the first goal will be the level of 1.1292.
In addition to the technical picture should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
