On better readings, the EUR/USD pair could head back towards “1.1654 is the convergence of the Simple Moving average 10-1h, the SMA 50-15m, the one-day high and the SMA 5-1h. A minor line is 1.1641 which is the SMA 10-15m and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month. Looking down, the road is smoother. Some support awaits at 1.1589 which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month and the Pivot Point one-day Support 2. Lower, some support awaits at 1.1557 which is the Bolinger Band one-day lower before the 2018 nadir of 1.1508.

The CPI is a significant way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation in the Euro Zone. Generally, a high reading anticipates a hawkish attitude which will be positive (or bullish) for the EUR, while a low reading is seen as negative (or bearish).
