EURUSD Technical Analysis
The EURUSD pair managed to climb higher this past week towards 1.0760 where it failed completely and started to move lower again. There was a bullish trend line formed on the hourly chart of the EURUSD pair, which was broken recently. The point to note is the fact that the pair settled below the 100 and 200 hourly simple moving average, which is a strong sell signal.
The pair is currently trading near the last swing low of 1.0600-20. A break below it may take the pair further lower may be towards 1.0580. On the upside, the 100 hourly MA can be seen as a major resistance moving ahead that might prevent the upside if the pair corrects higher in the short term.
Euro Zone Manufacturing and Services PMI
Today, the Euro Zone will witness a lot of economic releases, including the Euro Zone Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) (captures business conditions in the manufacturing sector) by the Markit Economics. The forecast is lined up for no change in the PMI from 52.3 in November 2015. Any miss in the result may impact EURUSD pair and might take it lower in the short term.
