Readers can find FX Street's proprietary deviation impact map of the event below. As observed the reaction is likely to remain confined between 10 and 40 pips in deviations up to 1.5 to -3, although in some cases, if notable enough, a deviation can fuel movements of up to 50 pips.

How could affect EUR/USD?

Haresh Menghani, Analyst at FXStreet explains, “from a technical perspective, the pair has managed to rebound from the 1.1935 support marked 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the 1.1554-1.2556 upsurge. With short-term technical indicators gradually recovering from near-term oversold conditions, the recovery move seems more likely to get extended, marginally above the key 1.20 psychological mark, towards retesting the very 200-day SMA support turned resistance near the 1.2015-20 region en-route 50% Fibonacci retracement level near mid-1.2000s.”
