Eurozone Preliminary CPIs overview
Eurostat will publish the first estimate of Eurozone inflation figures for February at 1000 GMT this Tuesday.
The headline CPI is anticipated to come in slightly softer at 1.2% YoY while the core inflation is seen up at 1.2% YoY during the reported month.
Deviation impact on EUR/USD
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 30 pips in deviations up to 1.5 to -2, although in some cases, if notable enough, a deviation can fuel movements of up to 45-50 pips.
How could affect EUR/USD?
Yohay Elam, FXStreet's own Senior Analyst, offers important technical levels ahead of the key release: “The Technical Confluences Indicator is showing that initial weak resistance awaits at 1.1162, which is the confluence of the Bollinger Band 15min-Upper and the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 1. The most significant cap is only at 1.1284, which is a cluster including the PP one-month Resistance 2, the Fibonacci 161.8% one-month, and the PP one-day R2.”
“Support awaits at 1.1093, which is the confluence of the 200-day Simple Moving Average, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-day, and the previous monthly high. Further down, additional noteworthy support is at 1.1035, which is where the BB 4h-Middle and the 50-day SMA converge,” Yohay adds.
