EUR/USD Weekly Analysis: FOMC and ECB Decisions Set to Drive Volatility

Market Overview — Week of March 16, 2026

EUR/USD enters the new week under heavy pressure after breaking below the critical 1.1500 level, reaching its lowest point since July 2025. The pair’s decline reflects broad dollar strength fueled by risk-off sentiment, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and elevated oil prices driving safe-haven flows into the greenback.

This week is one of the most event-heavy on the calendar, with both the Federal Reserve (Wednesday) and European Central Bank (Thursday) delivering rate decisions within 24 hours of each other. These back-to-back central bank events will likely determine whether EUR/USD finds a floor or extends its selloff.
