Technically, the price action signaled the buyers were exhausted, but a larger drop can confirm the bearish bias. In the short term, it has developed a minor down channel. It remains to be seen if this will be a bullish continuation pattern or if the rate activates a deeper drop inside of this formation.

The US ADP Non-Farm Employment Change is seen as a high-impact indicator and is expected at 295K in May versus 247K in the previous reporting period. In addition, the Unemployment Claims could be reported at 210K in the last week while the Factory Orders could register a 0.8% growth.

It could come back down to test the 102.35 and 102.16 before resuming its growth. A minor retreat was natural after its strong growth. An upside continuation should force the USD to appreciate versus its rivals.
