EURUSD Technical Analysis
The Euro declined below 1.0900 against the US Dollar recently, and currently the EURUSD pair looks like under a lot of selling pressure having the potential for a move towards 1.0840.
We can see from the hourly chart that there was a failure to settle above the 1.10 handle, which ignited a sharp downside move in EURUSD. It declined and now formed a minor bearish trend line, which may act as a resistance near 1.0880 if the pair attempts to correct higher.
On the downside, the recent low of 1.0860 is a support zone, followed by 1.0840. One may even consider selling on rallies as long as the bearish trend line is intact.
Euro Zone Manufacturing PMI
Today in the Euro Zone, the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), which captures business conditions in the manufacturing sector will be released by the Markit Economics. The market is aligned for no change in the PMI from the last reading of 52.6 in Oct 2016 (preliminary).
If there is a decline registered, then the Euro may come under further bearish pressure in the near term.
