The EUR/USD pair fell to a fresh one-week low of 1.1882 amid a firmer greenback helped by higher US Treasury yields, up ahead of critical employment data. European stocks are currently advancing, trimming early losses and providing support to Wall Street.

The German Consumer Price Index edged lower in June, according to preliminary estimates, printing at0.4% MoM and 2.3% YoY. The focus during the American session will be on June CB Consumer Confidence, foreseen at 118.9 from the previous 117.2.

EUR/USD short-term technical outlook

The EUR/USD pair is poised to extend its decline, after losing the 1.1920 level where the pair has the 61.8% retracement of its March/Mary advance. The 4-hour chart shows that a mildly bearish 20 SMA stands a few pips above the mentioned Fibonacci level, while the longer moving averages head firmly lower, far above the current level. Technical indicators accelerated their slides within negative levels, favoring a break through the recent lows in the 1.1840 price zone.
