EUR/USD – April 3rd: The Dollar Suffers Another Collapse

On Wednesday, the EUR/USD pair surged sharply. This movement can hardly be called a mere rise. When it comes to the U.S. dollar, it was another collapse—one of many seen in 2025, more frequent than before Donald Trump came to power. As of yesterday and this morning, the pair firmly broke above the 1.0944 level, opening the way for the euro to reach the 261.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.1057. For now, considering a decline in EUR/USD seems unreasonable.

The wave pattern on the hourly chart has shifted. The last completed downward wave broke below the previous low, but the most recent upward wave has exceeded the previous high. This currently indicates a reversal in trend to a bullish direction.

Donald Trump imposed new tariffs last week and followed up this week with global tariffs on all categories of goods. Bulls had shown weakness recently, but as it turned out yesterday, it wasn't weakness—it was simply anticipation.

The fundamental backdrop on Wednesday is hardly worth analyzing. The U.S. ADP labor market report was released but largely ignored by traders. The dollar began falling as soon as the U.S. session opened. Clearly, the market was bracing for the worst even before Trump's speech at the White House. As it turned out, they were right.

President Trump imposed new tariffs—not selectively this time, but on all American imports. And that's not all. Several countries were hit with individual tariff rates, some as high as 70–90%. All previous trade actions by Trump now seem mild by comparison. Now, every country in the world will, in one way or another, pay to access the U.S. market—or abandon it altogether—or be forced to slash exports. As before, the dollar plunged on such news, regardless of any technical indicators.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair has made a new bullish reversal and is rising toward the 76.4% Fibonacci level at 1.0969. The euro's growth, unsupported by EU data, should have ended long ago—but Trump's actions continue to weigh heavily on the dollar. A rebound from the 1.0969 level may prompt a slight pullback, but who's thinking about a decline now? A close above 1.0969 will likely lead to continued growth toward the next Fibonacci level at 1.1213.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report

This image is no longer relevant

During the latest reporting week, professional traders opened 844 new long positions and closed 5,256 short ones. The "non-commercial" group sentiment became bullish again—thanks to Donald Trump. The total number of long positions held by speculators now stands at 190,000, while short positions are down to 124,000.

For 20 consecutive weeks, large traders had been selling off the euro. But for the past 7 weeks, they've been closing shorts and adding longs. The ECB–Fed policy divergence still favors the dollar, but Trump's policies are now a more significant factor for traders, as they could push the FOMC into a dovish stance and potentially trigger a U.S. recession.

Economic Calendar – April 3 (U.S. and EU):

  • U.S. – Nonfarm Payrolls Change (12:30 UTC)
  • U.S. – Unemployment Rate (12:30 UTC)
  • U.S. – Average Hourly Earnings (12:30 UTC)
  • U.S. – Fed Chair Jerome Powell Speaks (15:25 UTC)

While the April 3 calendar includes three very important events, it's unclear whether the market will even care about them. Market sentiment on Friday will likely be driven more by Trump's actions than by strong U.S. data.

EUR/USD Forecast and Trader Tips:

In the current environment, I would not consider selling the pair. Buying was possible yesterday on a rebound from the 1.0781–1.0797 zone (H1 chart) with a target of 1.0857. The next target at 1.0944 was also reached and broken, so long positions can be held with a new target at 1.1057.

Fibonacci levels were drawn between 1.0529 and 1.0213 on the hourly chart, and between 1.1214 and 1.0179 on the 4-hour chart.
