EUR/USD Analysis on April 21, 2025

The wave structure on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has transformed into a bullish formation. I believe there's little doubt that this transformation occurred solely due to the new U.S. trade policy. Prior to February 28, when the sharp decline of the U.S. dollar began, the entire wave layout looked like a solid downward trend. Wave 2 of a corrective structure was forming. However, Donald Trump's weekly announcements of various tariffs did their job. Demand for the U.S. dollar began to plummet, and now the entire trend segment, which started back on January 13, has taken on a five-wave impulsive structure.

Moreover, the market failed to even build a convincing Wave 2 within the new upward trend. We only saw a minor pullback—smaller than the corrective waves within Wave 1. However, the U.S. dollar may continue to decline unless Donald Trump completely reverses his trade policy. We've already seen one instance where the news cycle changed the wave structure—another such shift remains entirely possible.

The EUR/USD pair rose by 130 basis points on Monday—without any news, right after the holidays, and without new tariffs from Donald Trump. Finding a specific reason for Monday's decline in demand for the U.S. dollar is virtually impossible. Most likely, today's dollar drop can be seen as part of the ongoing devaluation of the American currency. In simpler terms, the market began selling off the U.S. dollar 2–3 months ago, and Monday was simply a continuation of that trend.

Before Trump took office, analyzing price movements was more complex. You had to consider a wide range of news and economic data, correlate them with various forms of technical analysis, and then draw conclusions. Now, it's simpler: the U.S. dollar consistently declines, and any new speech by Trump in which he threatens anyone becomes another reason for market participants to reduce demand for the dollar. Statements from the U.S. president about a "bright future," negotiations, tariff freezes, or grace periods bring no positive change for the dollar. The market doesn't believe in any of it.

Positive changes don't come after a declaration of war—even a trade war. Therefore, the market is convinced that the U.S. economy faces nothing good in the near term, which explains the ongoing weakness of the U.S. currency.

Summary

Based on the conducted EUR/USD analysis, I conclude that the instrument continues to form a new upward wave trend. Donald Trump's actions have reversed the previous bearish trend. Therefore, the wave pattern in the near term will depend entirely on the stance and actions of the U.S. president. This must be constantly kept in mind. Based purely on wave structure, I expected three corrective waves in Wave 2. However, Wave 2 has already ended, having taken the form of a single wave. This means the formation of Wave 3 in the bullish trend is now underway. Its targets could reach as high as the 1.25 area, but achieving those levels will depend entirely on Trump.

On a higher time frame, the wave structure has also shifted to a bullish formation. A long-term upward wave sequence is likely, though Trump-related news could once again turn everything upside down.

Key Principles of My Analysis:

  1. Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex structures are difficult to trade and often signal changes ahead.
  2. If you're uncertain about the market, it's best to stay out.
  3. There is never 100% certainty in market direction. Always use Stop Loss protection.
  4. Wave analysis can be combined with other forms of analysis and trading strategies.
