EUR/USD Technical Analysis: EUR/USD trading below 1.1600 ahead of US NFP on Friday

  • EUR/USD reached  a new weekly low as it broke below the 1.1600 figure. EUR/USD is now less than 20 pips away from the 1.1574 support, July 19 low. A bear breakout below the level can lead to an acceleration towards 1.1527 June 26 low and 1.1508, the current 2018 low.
  • This is the strongest decline since early June suggesting decent bearish momentum. However, bulls will try hard to support the market at the 1.1574 level in order to prevent sellers to resume the bear trend.  
  • The market will pay close attention to the US Nonfarm Payrolls and the Average Hourly Earnings this  Friday at 12:30 GMT. The news  can potentially greatly impact USD-denominated currency pairs.
