Last week we ended up witnessing periods of high volatility in the markets, where equities in Europe enter in sell-off as well as U.S equities, although on a smaller scale compared to the European indices.
Interestingly, the EUR/USD pair ended up remaining stable and we even had the euro appreciate against the US dollar.

When we look at the 4-hour chart, we can see that the price has been trading in a technical structure that already anticipated a possible potential bullish momentum. This structure could maintain the current bullish momentum as long as the price remains above the structure.

On the chart of the US dollar index, it is also possible to see that the price has broken a technical structure that supported the down trend of the USD.
