EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Oversold conditions prompt some short-covering ahead of NFP

   “¢   The pair extended overnight bearish break below a short-term ascending trend-line support and weakened farther below the 1.1600 handle on Friday.  

   “¢   Technical indicators on the hourly charts drifted into oversold territory and could be the only possible reason behind a modest rebound seen over the past few hours.

   “¢   However, given the bearish set-up, the current recovery might still be seen as a dead-cat bounce and could attract some aggressive selling at higher levels.  

   “¢   A slightly better-than-expected NFP print will be enough to prompt fresh selling and drag the pair back towards YTD lows, closer to the key 1.1500 psychological mark.
