EUR/USD Spot Analysis
EUR/USD was trading largely muted at 1.1720 before the release of data. The pair
Support levels - 1.1685 (110-week EMA), 1.1572 (200-week MA)
Resistance levels - 1.1752 (5-DMA), 1.1802 (20-DMA)
Guidance: EUR/USD has paused an 8-day bearish streak. Strength in US dollar likely to weigh on the pair. Technical bias also remains bearish. That said, oversold conditions might lead to some retrace in price. However, pullbacks if any are likely to be shallow.
Focus also on the monthly U.S. personal consumption report due at 1230 GMT that could influence the Fed's timeline to taper monetary support.
USD could get a further boost from an upbeat inflation reading, adding to expectations of policy tightening.
