The EUR/USD pair lost some ground during the first hours of this Wednesday, down to 1.1241 early Europe as stocks opened with a soft positive tone.
In Europe, the only macroeconomic release was the Producer Price Index for July that matched expectations of -0.1%, whilst year-to-year resulted at -2.1%. Later on in the day, the US will release the private ADP survey, probably the most relevant figure of the day.

In the meantime, the technical picture is neutral, with the pair hovering around the 61.8% retracement of its latest rally, around 1.1280, having found some intraday selling interest on spikes beyond 1.1300. The 4 hours chart shows that the 20 SMA stands flat around the mentioned daily low, whilst the technical indicators lack directional strength around their mid-lines.
Should the price recover above 1.1300, the pair may advance up to the 1.1340/60 price zone, although stronger gains seem unlikely for today. Below the daily low on the other hand, the decline can extend down to 1.1180 a strong static support level.
