Deviation impact on EUR/USD
Readers can find FX Street's proprietary deviation impact map of the event below. As observed, the reaction in case of a relative deviation of +0.90 or -0.69 is likely to be in the range of 22-29 pips in the first 15-minutes and could stretch to around 68-103 pips in the subsequent 4-hours. In the last five releases, the pair moved, on an average, 13-pips in the first 15-minutes after the data release and 38-pips in the following 4-hours. 
How could it affect EUR/USD?
Ahead of the release, Yohay Elam, FXStreet's own Analyst offers important technical levels to trade the major: "Some resistance awaits at 1.1440, the fresh daily high and a level that capped the pair in early December. 1.1485 was a peak in mid-December. 1.1500 is the high point seen in November. 1.1550 and 1.1620 are next."
"Minor support awaits at 1.1410 which held EUR/USD down at the wake of the year. 1.1380 worked in both directions and is where we see the 200 SMA. 1.1345 was a swing low last week. 1.13010 and 1.1270 are next down the line," he added further.
