EURUSD Technical Analysis
The Euro continued to trade under pressure, as there seems to be no resolution for Greece crisis. All recent reports suggest that Greeks rejected the bailout offer with 'No' vote surpassing the 61 percent figure. This is a concerning sign, and the market might react abruptly in the session to follow. The shared currency opened the week with a minor gap lower and traded as low as 1.0968 against the US Dollar.
The EURUSD pair after testing 1.0960 support area managed to trade higher and it looks like the pair might succeed in closing the opening week gap. There is a bearish trend line formed on the hourly chart, which is likely to act as a hurdle for the pair if it moves higher. The 100 hourly simple moving average is aligned perfectly with the highlighted trend line, adding to the value of the stated resistance.
German Factory Orders
In the Euro Zone, the German Factory orders report will be released by the Deutsche Bundesbank. The forecast is lined up for a decrease of 0.4% in order in May 2015, compared with the preceding month. Any additional decline might weigh on the shared currency moving ahead.
