EUR/USD: bulls losing some traction, awaiting more Fed speak
|Currently, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0543, down -0.67% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.0617 and low at 1.0526.
EUR/USD is falling back from its consolidative window between the rally from 1.0529 and 1.0551 the high for the Us session so far. However, the price is touching base of the 5-minute chart support and is stalling without a catalyst behind the move.
The theme today has been around the US economy, with a miss in expectations in the manufacturing data leading a sell-off in the greenback while the Fed's Harker hardly said anything to rescue the greenback's fate today, with very little for the bulls to get excited about - thus any corrections in the dollar are likely to be limited in the absence of further catalysts. We now await Fed William's speech before the Fed minutes tomorrow.
