The EURUSD is lower today, likely due to profit-taking and the lower-than-expected Spanish inflation figures. Spanish inflation dropped from 2.8% annually to 2.2%, below the anticipated 2.4%. The German government will release its inflation figures in the afternoon, followed by the official Euro area inflation data tomorrow.
From a technical standpoint, today's slide triggered stop-loss orders below Wednesday's and Thursday's lows at 1.1096, shifting the short-term trend to bearish below 1.1145. There's a risk of further profit-taking, potentially driving the price towards 1.1050.
However, the longer-term trend remains bullish and will likely stay as long as the price holds above 1.09. Therefore, today's decline appears to be more of a short-term correction than anything else.
