Session Recap: Tomorrow in the battle think on me; EUR/USD remains around 1.3600
FXStreet (San Francisco) - The dog days are finished and tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of your life. ECB's Mario Draghi is about to announce new measures, kind of QE in Europe to support economy and to fight deflation. Euro investors are waiting for that battle.
The EUR/USD remained well contained by its last days range in between 1.3585 and 1.3645 while alternating positive and negative days. Jamie Coleman from FXBeat warned market in its last Marketplace report saying that everything is priced in and movements would be not-that-wild in the coming days.
"We traded 1.3597/1.3638 during the NY session with some euro buying on weak ADP data but that was followed by sales after robust service-sector PMI," pointed Coleman.
In the short term, "the line in the sand to the downside stands around 1.3570, with stops having increased below as of lately," comments Valeria Bednarik from FXStreet. "If broken, the downward move may extend down to 1.5320/30 price zone, and once below this last down to 1.3480. Critical resistance stands around 1.3680, 61.8% retracement of this year rally"
The GBP/USD was shaken on the day as the cable traded as high as 1.6770 and as low as 1.6698. Finally, the pair closed 15 pips negative at 1.6735.
On the other hand, the USD/JPY rallied for third day amid US yields which bounced from 2.57% in 10-year notes again. The pair consolidated levels above 102.50 and closed around 102.75.
