The EURUSD pair is still capped below 1.0900. One of the reasons is definitely opposite fundamental reasoning between ECB and FED. Draghi implied that the next round of QE could come in December while Yellen gave a possible hint for a rate hike in December. Market is expecting good NFP numbers but we can never be sure about the exact number until we see the actual result.
We need to pay attention to technical, that is why I have included an overlay of daily chart. Typically for PRE NFP movement, volatility dries off and pairs are ranging. Due to low ATR (88 pips –last 5 days) Daily Pivot points are very close so we need to pay attention to Daily Price Support and Resistance (manually drawn horizontal levels of support and resistance/historical buyers and sellers). POC comes in 1.0895-1.0910 zone (H3/H4 , EMA 89, now moment sellers) and strong rejection above 1.0910 (or T-89 pattern) will propel the pair up to 1.0945 and 1.0985-1.0998 where we see historical sellers and RETEST point (red rectangle). I expect sellers to show in the zone if the pair rallies.
While EURUSD is capped below 1.0910 the POC should reject the pair towards 1.0830 IMPORTANT daily support. If EURUSD proceeds below 1.0830 with a strong momentum next target is 1.0815 and 1.0710. 1.0710 is DAILY historical support and it could be reached if EURUSD drops below 1.0830 and 1.0815. Pay attention to NFP Friday but also NFP Monday as the price usually follows up.
