Is the EURUSD heading for a retracement after it’s recent run higher?

The seasonal chart for the EURUSD is painting a picture of EURUSD downside ahead, with some outsized falls seasonally recorded in the pair. Over the last 24 years the pair has had falls over 3% three times. The largest fall was during the Global Financial Crisis in September 2008 when the EURUSD fell 3.57% as the USD found safe haven bids.

With the EURUSD having made decent gains in anticipation of coming rate cuts from the Fed is now the time for a seasonal retracement?

Technically the 1.1250 level sits overhead and could be an obvious place for profit takers. Also, next week also sees the US PCE print on Friday and a hot print could strengthen the USD and send the EURUSD lower. Remember, the Fed will still be very sensitive to incoming inflation data and a big beat in the data will have markets rapidly price out the 4 interest rate cuts currently expected.
