EUR/USD MARCHES STEADILY AS USD PLUNGES, ECB EYED


EUR/USD closed the week flat around 1.0600, but not before extending this year's decline to 1.0517 last Thursday, as demand for USD-related assets remained high, in spite of a shortened week in the US. FOMC Minutes released on Wednesday showed that FED's officers are mostly agreeing on an upcoming rate hike for this December, reinforcing what the market already anticipated. At this point, 100% odds of a move higher in the US benchmark has been fully priced in, probably, one of the reasons behind dollar's upward momentum fading.

Nevertheless, political uncertainty in Europe amid the referendum and elections in Italy and the UK with its Brexit, will likely keep the common currency subdued, at least, until the ECB and FED's December meeting, which will likely set the tone for the pair for the first quarter of 2017. Today, EUR awaits major news with money supply report, and ECB as Draghi makes appearance with more impact on EUR/USD.

Technical levels to watch :  Weekly pivot 1.0588

Trend: Bearish sideways

Resistance : R1 1.0685, R2 1.0715, R3 1.0746

Support : S1 1.0594, S2 1.0551, S3 1.0522

Remark: EUR/USD general mood is still bearish although morning showed some bullish correction taking into consideration strong US economy. Price range expected between R1 and S1, but look forward at 9:00 AM GMT as EURO awaits news that could possibly create more volatility breaking support and resistance depending on the outcome.

GBP/USD Sinks on stronger US dollar, Awaiting local data


GBP/USD rallied on yesterday's trading sessions to 1.2704 highs, but failed to hold strongly gains against greenback as the pair bearish-ed to 1.2548 lows. There were no macroeconomic signals from Big Ben, although it was the final day of the Supreme  Court's hearing on Brexit, to decide whether Theresa May should get the Parliament's permission to trigger the Article 50, but a decision will be known probably next week. Sterling is still on soft ground as long as supreme court is still postponing the final decision regarding it's pre-twin-mate, the Eurozone.
