The bullish sentiment prevailed on EUR/USD yesterday. The euro rose against the US dollar by more than 100 points. The currency formed a local resistance of 1.14250. The closest support is 1.13750. Today, the statistics on the labor market in the United States is in the focus of attention. Most experts expect the improvement of the basic indices. At the same time, the preliminary report from ADP turned out to be weak. Positions must be opened from the key levels.

EUR/USD

The EUR/USD quotes have fixed above 50 MA and 200 MA, which indicates the power of buyers.

The MACD histogram is located in the positive area, but below the signal line, which gives a weak signal to buy EUR/USD.

Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is above the %D line, which signals an increase in EUR/USD.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.13750, 1.13150
  • Resistance levels: 1.14250

Today we recommend reducing risks when opening a position.

If the statistics from the US turns out to be weak, the upward trend on the EUR/USD currency pair may continue. The movement is tending potentially to the round level of 1.15000.

An alternative may be the correction on EUR/USD to the level of 1.13500-1.13150.

  • Support levels: 1.29000, 1.28300
  • Resistance levels: 1.29750, 1.30250

If economic reports from the UK are positive, we recommend considering purchases to the resistance level 1.30250.

  • Day's range: 1.29701 – 1.29933

At the moment, the USD/CAD currency pair is being traded in the flat. The key trading range is still 1.29150-1.30000. Investors expect publication of reports on the labor market in the US and Canada. Pressure on the Canadian dollar is caused by negative dynamics in the market of "black gold".

  • – The report on the labor market at 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
  • – Ivey's business activity index at 17:00 (GMT+3:00).

The MACD histogram has fixed in the positive zone and above the signal line, which indicates the power of the buyers.

Stochastic Oscillator is located in the neutral zone, the %K line is below the %D line, which gives a signal to sell USD/CAD.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.29150
  • Resistance levels: 1.30000, 1.30500, 1.31000

If the statistics from Canada proves to be weak, a correction movement may be developed on the USD/CAD currency pair. The target movement level is 1.30500-1.31000. When following a position, one should use a trailing stop.

An alternative may be a further drop in USD/CAD. The movement is tending potentially to the round level of 1.29000.

  • Day's range: 113.093 – 113.831
  • 52 wk range: 99.08 – 123.69

Today in the Asian trading session, aggressive purchases were observed on USD/JPY. The currency has overcome the key mark of 113.600, which is already a "mirror" support. The nearest resistance is the round level of 114.000. The technical pattern indicates further growth of USD/JPY. However, positions should be opened from the key levels. We are waiting for statistics from the USA.

There are no important economic reports from Japan today.
