EUR/USD traded near flat after the ECB cut rates by 25 basis points and euro zone Q4 GDP came in unchanged. Investors were waiting for February 1 to see whether Trump would impose tariffs.
Lagarde said growth risks remain tilted to the downside.

After 533 past bearish macro events, EURUSD moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (33% higher; middle half -1.2% to +0.2%), and -0.5% over 20.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, DXY moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
