The euro could benefit at the start of the week so long as the greenback continues to correct to the downside. In the charts below, it is illustrated that the DXY is meeting a monthly supply area that could hold off the bulls for a moment giving a rise to prospects of a correction on the daily chart.

The DXY appears to top out near 107.80. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement sits near prior swing highs near 105.70. If this were to play out, we would have had a bullish setup in the euro for the week ahead.
