Is the US Dollar Losing Its Strength?

The year started on a positive note for the euro as the European economy showed resilience amid global uncertainties. Increased defence and infrastructure spending in Germany, coupled with improving economic indicators across the Eurozone, provided strong support for the euro. This led to the EUR/USD pair experiencing its largest weekly gain since 2009. The exchange rate hovered around 1.08-1.09, marking a significant appreciation from the previous year’s close.

The year began with the British pound showing signs of recovery following a period of uncertainty in late 2024. Investor sentiment improved as the UK economy displayed resilience despite concerns over fiscal policy`. GBP/USD started the year around 1.26 and gradually gained momentum, buoyed by expectations of a more measured pace of monetary easing compared to other major economies.

EURUSD has been rallying since the beginning of 2025 just as GBPUSD. In March, both pairs rallied, gaining over 400pips each. Price could continue to rally as we might reach a new price level for both pairs this year. We might see EURUSD reach 1.1213 from the current price of 1.0897 and GBPUSD might reach 1.33775 from the current price at 1.29644.

The Pound to Gain Against the US Dollar

The GBPUSD pair has been in a bearish movement since the beginning of 2021. The support level of GBPUSD stands at 1.03696, which was reached in September 2022. This point also stands as the all-time low of the pair. After this low, price rallied through the rest of the year, that is, in October, November, and December of 2022. The bullish momentum continued in 2023 as the bulls began to push price to new highs.

As it stands, the dollar has continued to lose its strength against the pounds. The GBPUSD bulls could push price higher in the coming weeks. The price could reach 1.25000. The current price as of the time of publishing this article is at 1.24210. On the monthly chart using the RSI, the price has been oversold. The candlesticks are in the upper region of the Bollinger Bands. There are higher lows and higher highs already being formed on the daily chart. If in the short-term, price is able to hit 1.25000 as mentioned above, then we forecast that the bulls might be able to push price to 1.26000 later in the year.

EURUSD Bounces From 19-Year Low

In the year 2000, EURUSD had its major support level at 0.82258. In July 2001, a rally began that lasted for years and this rally took EURUSD to an all-time high of 1.60932. This mark was reached in April 2008. Since this high, it’s been lower lows and lower highs for the EURUSD pair.

In September 2022, EURUSD reached 0.94990 which stands as a 19-year low for the currency pair. After this low, the pair saw a rally that bounced the price upwards to 1.04067 where it currently stands.

However, despite the current bull run, our analysts think that the bears are still in control and the US Dollar will still gain against the Euro. Our analysts forecast EURUSD falling below the 19-year low of 0.94990 in the coming weeks. Though we have RSI indicating that price has been oversold twice, in 2015 & in 2022, on the monthly chart, it is not certain that this indication will lead to a rally for the EURUSD.
