EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro under pressure below 1.1530 key level ahead of NFP

  • EUR/USD is under pressure as it closed Thursday below 1.1530 key level.  
  • EUR/USD is trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages while the RSI and Stochastics are below 50, all suggesting relative weakness in the currency pair.  A bearish continuation would target 1.1400. On the flip side, a significant break above 1.1600 would likely invalidate the current bearish bias.  
  • Investors are awaiting the US Nonfarm Payrolls report for September at 12:30 GMT which can bring  high volatility in the forex market.
