Technically, the DXY was somehow expected to retreat after its amazing leg higher. It could test the immediate downside obstacles before resuming its growth. As long as the DXY drops, the EUR/USD pair will be expected to grow. Still, from the technical point of view, the currency pair could develop only a temporary rebound. Bouncing back could help the sellers to catch a new bearish momentum.

Surprisingly or not, the EUR/USD pair grew even though the Eurozone data came in worse than expected. The German Factory Orders registered a 2.2% drop compared to the 0.2% drop expected, while the PPI rose by 1.1% less versus 1.2% estimates. Later, Treasury Sec Yellen’s speech may bring some volatility.

Finally, though, the most important event is represented by the FOMC Meeting Minutes. Definitely, this will bring sharp movements and will shake the markets.

Tomorrow, the US Unemployment Claims, Eurozone Retail Sales, and German Industrial Production could impact.

This obstacle may signal potential growth towards a 1.0960 static resistance level. Also, we cannot exclude a larger rebound towards the 1.1 and up to the median line (ml). The median line (ml) could attract the price after registering a false breakdown with great separation below the lower median line (LML).

The bias remains bearish as long as the rate stays below the median line (ml) and under the 1.0960 obstacle. Staying below these levels could bring new short opportunities. The price could come back only to confirm the breakdown below 1.0960. Also, after its massive drop, a rebound is natural.
