Today, the report on the labor market in the United States is in the focus of attention. Most experts expect an economic slowdown. At the same time, yesterday's preliminary data from ADP supported the US dollar. The EUR/USD currency pair formed a local support of 1.12100. The nearest resistance is at the mark of 1.12600.
- – average hourly wage at 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
- – change in the number of employed in the non-agricultural sector of the US at 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
- – the proportion of the economically active population at 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
- – the unemployment rate at 15:30 (GMT+3:00).
The EUR/USD quotes are between 50 MA and 200 MA, which are strong dynamic levels of support and resistance.
The MACD histogram does not provide accurate signals. The indicator has fixed near the 0 mark.
Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is below the %D line, which gives the sell signal.
- Support levels: 1.12100, 1.11750, 1.11250
- Resistance levels: 1.12600
We recommend waiting for the publication of statistics.
If the report on the labor market in the US is optimistic, sales may prevail on the EUR/USD currency pair. The movement is tending potentially to 1.11750-1.11250. When tracking the position, it is better to use a trailing stop.
The alternative may be the growth of the EUR/USD quotations to the resistance level of 1.12600.

Yesterday, the trading was very dynamic on GBP/USD. However, a unidirectional trend did not occur. The currency tested the boundaries of the key trading range of 1.28500-1.29000.

The MACD histogram has consolidated below the signal line and begun to decline, indicating a fall in GBP/USD.

- Support levels: 1.28500, 1.28000
- Resistance levels: 1.29000, 1.29500
We expect a downward trend on the GBP/USD currency pair. If the price consolidates below the support level of 1.28500, we recommend looking for entry points to the market in order to open short positions. The immediate goal for profit taking is the round level of 1.28000.
Alternative option. If the price fixes above the 1.29000 mark, the bullish sentiment may prevail on the GBP/USD currency pair. The movement is tending potentially to 1.29500.

The Canadian dollar is under pressure due to a sharp drop in quotations of "black gold". At the moment, WTI oil lost more than 2% in price. The US president broke the Paris agreement. USD/CAD has overcome the mark 1.35200, which is already "mirror" support. The key resistance is at the level of 1.35750. We recommend paying attention to the news line on the US economy.
The news background from Canada is rather calm today:
- – labor productivity at 15:30 (GMT+3:00);

Indicators point to the power of buyers. The price has fixed above 50 MA and 200 MA.
The MACD histogram is located in the positive area and continues to rise, which signals an increase in the USD/CAD currency pair.
Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is above the %D line, which also gives a signal to buy USD/CAD.
- Support levels: 1.35200, 1.34800, 1.34300
- Resistance levels: 1.35750
We believe that the growth of the USD/CAD quotes may continue. We recommend looking for entry points to the market to open long positions. The movement is tending potentially to 1.35750.
Alternative option. If economic reports from the US turn out to be weak, a downward trend may develop on the USD/CAD currency pair. The target movement level is 1.34800-1.34500.

If the statistics from the US is positive, the growth of the USD/JPY currency pair may continue. The movement is tending potentially to the round level of 112.000.
