The selling pressure is now picking up extra pace around the single currency, now dragging EUR/USD to the area of fresh daily lows in the vicinity of 1.1940.
EUR/USD weaker ahead of ADP
The pair keeps losing ground on Wednesday following a broad-based pick up in the demand for the greenback. In fact, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has managed to rebound from yesterday’s fresh cycle lows near 91.60 to the mid-92.00s for the time being.
Spot has already shed over a cent since Tuesday’s peaks in the boundaries of 1.2070 to current levels, all on the back of the already mentioned USD recovery and the logical profit taking mood in light of the recent and strong upside.
Data wise in the euro bloc, advanced Spanish inflation figures tracked by the HICP is expected to rise above estimates at an annualized 2.0% in August. Further data in the region saw business climate at 1.1 for the current month while consumer confidence came in at -2.0, matching consensus. Next on tap will be the flash German CPI and HICP for the month of August.
Across the pond, the ADP report is due seconded by the second revision of Q2 GDP and the speech by FOMC’s J.Powell (permanent voter, centrist).
EUR/USD levels to watch
At the moment, the pair is losing 0.19% at 1.1949 facing the immediate support at 1.1938 (low Aug.30) followed by 1.1851 (10-day sma) and then 1.1818 (21-day sma). On the flip side, a break above 1.2069 (2017 high Aug.29) would open the door to 1.2167 (50% Fibo of the 2014-2017 drop) and finally 1.2186 (high Dec 25 2014).

Editors’ Picks
AUD/USD remains on track to snap five weeks of losing streak
AUD/USD consolidates the previous day's strong move up to over a two-week high and remains on track to register gains for the first time in six weeks. The unwinding of the Trump trade, the Fed's failure to indicate that it was likely to pause rate cuts, the RBA's hawkish stance and hopes for more stimulus from China act as a tailwind for the Aussie.
USD/JPY holds steady above 153.00; intervention fears might cap gains
USD/JPY edges higher on Friday and reverses a part of the previous day's corrective slide from its highest level since July 30. The upbeat market mood and the BoJ rate-hike uncertainty undermine the safe-haven JPY. That said, speculations that Japanese authorities might intervene in the markets could cap the pair.
Gold price consolidates above $2,700 amid mixed cues
Gold price hovers above $2,700 during the Asian session on Friday and looks to build on the overnight solid recovery from the vicinity of the 50-day SMA support, or over a three-week low. In the absence of strong hawkish signals from the Fed, the unwinding of the so-called Trump trade and retreating US bond yields keep the USD bulls on the defensive.
