EURUSD supported by ECB chief economist Peter PraetEURUSD Technical Overview: Pivot: 1.1735 Day Trading Range: 1.1735 - 1.1860 Key Support: 1.1768 - 1.1738 - 1.1718 - 1.1694 Key Resistance: 1.1815 - 1.1834 - 1.1858 - 1.1888 Technical Indicators: RSI The RSI moving 70 level & its having more space for overbought condition. MACD: MacD having Bullish trend ahead. Moving Average: SMA 20 (1.1709) & SMA 55 (1.1661) are strong support for EURUSD. Technical Trade Idea: Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.1735 with targets at 1.1810 & 1.1835 in extension. Alternative scenario: below 1.1735 look for further downside with 1.1718 & 1.1688 as targets. Fundamental: The easing trade tensions and the resulting broad based sell-off in the USD pushed the EUR/USD pair to a 2.5-month high of 1.1785 yesterday. The EUR/USD pair pulled back from the mentioned high during NA market hours yesterday but has regained ground now after the retracement held above the former resistance in the 1.1730 region, where the pair stalled its advance several times these last days, and where it set its high in August. The options market data indicate the investors are expecting the common currency to extend gains further and hence are likely unwinding bearish bets which support the pair’s bullish momentum and also indicate consolidation above 1.17 handle. Although the weekly jobless claims and the Philly Fed Manufacturing data from the U.S. came in better than analysts’ estimates, the index failed to make a meaningful recovery. EURO bulls were further supported by comments from ECB chief economist Peter Praet in New York where he said that the euro area economy was expanding at a rate above its potential and added that he was confident about the inflation rate converging with the bank’s target. Looking ahead, the EUR could raise above 1.18 if the preliminary Eurozone PMI numbers, scheduled for release today, beat estimates and the risk assets remain well bid. When looking from technical perspective, the EUR/USD could revisit former resistance-turned-support level of 1.1750 before building on a bullish close above 1.17, as the hourly chart is showing a bearish divergence of the relative strength index.

EURUSD in Confusing stage & waiting for US Strong Data TodayEURUSD Technical Overview: Day Trading Range: 1.1730 - 1.1610 Pivot: 1.1690 (CMP 1.1684) Key Resistance: 1.1690 - 1.1718 - 1.1735 - 1.1760 Key Support: 1.1668 - 1.1645 - 1.1620 - 1.1600 Technical Indicators: RSI: Indicator lacks downward momentum, moving around 50-55 level. MACD: MacD having Bullish trend line. Moving Average: SMA 100 (1.1674) & SMA 55 (1.1681) are strong support for the pair today. Technical Trade Idea: Most Likely Scenario: short positions below 1.1690 with targets at 1.1668 & 1.1645 in extension. Alternative scenario: above 1.1690 look for further upside with 1.1718 & 1.1732 as targets. Fundamental: A combination of increased risk appetite and a pullback in the treasury yields could yield much-needed break above 1.17. The price action in early Asian market hours indicates neutral bias as both sides of pair struggle to gain upper hand. The failure to scale the psychological level of 1.17 in a convincing manner is likely associated with the rising Treasury yields and the widening US-DE (German) two-year yield spread. Traders also noted that U.S. macro economic data has remained very strong so far despite trade disputes since early this year. Europe >> The ECB President Mario Draghi is scheduled to deliver the keynote speech at an event entitled "Making Europe's Economic Union work" organized by Jacques Delors Institute, Hertie School of Governance, Bertelsmann Stiftung in Berlin at 13:30 GMT. >> The Eurozone consumer confidence is expected to fall to -2.0 in September. >> German Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann is scheduled to deliver a speech titled "Perspectives for Europe and the euro area" at the Center for European Politics, in Freiburg at 15:15 GMT. US >> The US housing starts rose strong 9.2% m/m in August while building permits decreased -5.7% m/m in the same month. >> The US initial jobless claims are expected to increase to 210K in the week ending September 14. >> Philadelphia Fed index is expected to increase to 17.0 in September from 11.9 in August. A break under 1.1650 could change the short-term bias to the downside, exposing the pair to support levels at 1.1625-1.1600 handles. As long as EUR/USD holds above 1.1650, another test of 1.1720 could take place. Above the next strong barrier is seen at 1.1745/50, a medium-term resistance that if broken would clear the way to more gains. Thanks YoCryptoManic

European Session EURUSD Focus on Draghi Speech & Trade WarEURUSD Technical Overview: Day Trading Range: 1.1665 - 1.1790 Key Resistance: 1.1720 - 1.1745 - 1.1768 - 1.1788 Key Support: 1.1688 - 1.1665 - 1.1635 - 1.1612 Technical Indicator: RSI: Indicators shows upside bias in a day. MACD: MacD having bullish trend. Moving Avg: SMA55 (1.1626) & SMA200 (1.1568) are strong support for EURUSD. Technical Idea: Pivot: 1.1665 Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.1665 with targets at 1.1728 & 1.1755 in extension. Alternative scenario: below 1.1665 look for further downside with 1.1635 & 1.1614 as targets. Fundamental: A bigger rally above 1.17 could be on the cards if ECB's Draghi plays down risks arising out of trade wars and the stock markets pick up a strong bid. On the economic data front, the final Euro-zone CPI confirmed the flash readout of 2.0% y/y in August and remained supportive of the positive tone surrounding the shared currency. The US President Donald Trump imposed 10% tariffs on about $200 billion worth of Chinese imports and warned to pursue tariffs on $267 billion of additional imports if China takes retaliatory action. As of writing this article, the pair is trading at 1.1688 up 0.04% on the day. Today’s key focus would be on the ECB President Mario Draghi’s scheduled speech, where any relevant comments related to monetary policy should influence the common currency and provide some meaningful trading opportunities. Apart from this, the economic docket lacks any major market moving releases and hence, the USD price dynamics might continue to act as a key driver of the pair’s momentum through Tuesday’s trading session. Although odds of a big risk-on move are quite low, as the prospects of a breakthrough deal between the US and China are quite low. The recovery is likely associated with conciliatory comments from China's commerce minister. More importantly, the risk assets seem to have taken heart from the fact that the Trump administration imposed a 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports worth $200 billion as opposed to expectations of 25 percent levy. This is evident from the recovery in the JPY crosses. For instance, the EUR/JPY pair witnessed a 70 pip recovery from session lows in Asia and could extend gains further if the global stock markets pick up a strong bid, although odds of a big risk-on move are quite low, as the prospects of a breakthrough deal between the US and China are quite low. The EUR/USD may also find acceptance above 1.17 if the European Central Bank (ECB) President Draghi downplays the trade tensions and reiterates that the QE program will likely end in December.

European Session EURUSD Boost From ECB UpdateEURUSD Technical Analysis Day Trading Range: 1.1635 - 1.1755 Pivot: 1.1665 Key Support: 1.1690 - 1.1665 - 1.1635 - 1.1600 Key Resistance: 1.1720 - 1.1735 - 1.1752 - 1.1775 Technical Indicators: MACD: MacD is having Strong Bullish volume. Moving Avg: SMA100 (1.1624) & SMA200 (1.1570) Strong Support for EURUSD. Technical Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.1665 with targets at 1.1718 & 1.1735 in extension. Technical Alternative scenario: below 1.1665 look for further downside with 1.1635 & 1.1605 as targets. Fundamental: The EUR/USD has found acceptance above the 100-day moving average for the first time since April 25. The common currency picked up a strong bid yesterday after the European Central Bank (ECB) sounded optimistic about prospects for inflation, bolstering the already bullish technical setup. Today’s data is US meets expectation the possibility for USD to gain upper hand against EURO before market closes on Friday is very low as it will scale down investors’ expectations for faster Fed rate hikes. Meanwhile, an above-forecast reading would reinforce expectations that domestic demand would cushion the US economy from external shocks and could put a bid under the USD. Risk sentiment in market has died down a bit as President Trump tweeted that he felt no pressure to do a trade deal with China, causing some unwind of the positive risk sentiment despite his government reaching out to China for trade related talks.

European Session EURUSD Looking US NFP Data TodayTechnical Overview: Day Trading Range: 1.1580 - 1.1710 Pivot: 1.1635 (EURUSD CMP 1.1642) Key Resistance: 1.1662 - 1.1688 - 1.1710 Key Support: 1.1630 - 1.1610 - 1.1580 Most Likely Scenario: short positions below 1.1634 with targets at 1.1608 & 1.1578 in extension. Alternative scenario: above 1.1634 look for further upside with 1.1664 & 1.1688 as targets. Technical Indicators: MACD: The MacD lacks upward momentum. Moving Avg: SMA200 (1.1580) & SMA100 (1.1577) strong support for the day. Price is above SMA, Short term bullish scenario. Fundamentals: Sino-U.S. Trade War Updates Remain Main Focus of Investors However, a break above the previous day’s high of 1.1659 may remain elusive, courtesy of escalating US-China trade tensions. Moreover, China is likely to retaliate in kind if the US goes ahead with the fresh round of tariffs. That said, a big rally towards 1.1733 (recent high) could be in the offing if the US average weekly earnings and non-farm payrolls figure for August, scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT, misses estimates by a wide margin, adding credence to the argument put forward by the likes of Fed’s Bullard that the central bank should stop raising rates now. On the other hand, a big beat on the wage growth figure would reinforce hawkish Fed expectations, driving the US dollar higher across the board. While the Eurozone second-quarter GDP, due for release at 09:00 GMT could move the EUR pairs. Moving forward, a close above 1.1704 opens the door for a test of the 1.1840-52 area. Alternatively, a push back below support in the 1.1530-54 zone paves the way for a decline back to Augusts swing bottom and unless either of these price levels are breached the pair is expected move in range bound pattern trapped inside mentioned price levels.
