  they will proceed carefully.
• The US CPI beat expectations on the headline
  figures, but the core measures came in line with forecasts and the market’s
  pricing barely changed.

  week with the beat inJobless Claims, although continuing claims missed for a second
  time in a row.
• The US Retail Sales last week beat expectations by a big
  margin with positive revisions to the prior figures, suggesting the consumers’
  spending remains resilient.

  the job for the Fed and therefore they are expected to keep rates steady in

EURUSD Technical Analysis –
Daily Timeframe

On the daily chart, we can see that the EURUSD pair
eventually broke above the key trendline with the
moving averages crossing
to the upside. This has switched the bias more to the upside in the short-term,
but we can also notice that it could just be a more complex correction that
might end up forming a bearish flag.
Yesterday’s rally has also overstretched a bit as depicted by the distance from
the blue 8 moving average. In such instances, we can usually see a pullback
into the moving average or some consolidation before the next move.

EURUSD Technical Analysis –
4 hour Timeframe

On the 4 hour chart, we can see that the price is
rejecting the upper bound of the hypothetical bearish flag and we have a strong
support zone
around the 1.0620 level. From a risk management perspective, the buyers would
be better off waiting for the price to pull back into the support as they will
also find the confluence with the
38.2% Fibonacci retracement level
and the red 21 moving average. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see
the price breaking below the support to increase the bearish bets into the
lower bound of the flag and eventually aiming for a breakout.

EURUSD Technical Analysis –
1 hour Timeframe

On the 1 hour chart, we can see that the
price is diverging with
the MACD right
at the upper bound of the flag. This is generally a sign of weakening momentum
often followed by pullbacks or reversals. In this case, it might be just another
signal that confirms a pullback into the support.

Upcoming Events

Today we will get the latest PMIs for the Eurozone
and the US. On Thursday, we will see the US Jobless Claims figures, while on
Friday we get the US PCE report which is not expected to change anything for
the Fed at this time.
