Yesterday, aggressive purchases were observed on EUR/USD. The euro added more than 80 points. Some representatives of the Republican Party refused to support the bill to replace the Obamacare healthcare system. These events put pressure on the US dollar. The currency found resistance at 1.15800. In the Asian trading session, there was a correction. The closest support is the mark of 1.15150. Today, the major currency pairs may show mixed results. Tomorrow, the Bank of Japan and the ECB will decide on further monetary policy. We expect economic reports from the United States.
At 15:30 (GMT+3:00) a number of statistics on the real estate market in the United States will be released.

The MACD histogram has begun to decline and fixed below the signal line, which signals a correction on EUR/USD.

If the statistics from the US turns out to be weak, the bullish sentiment may dominate on the EUR/USD currency pair. The movement is tending potentially to the local resistance of 1.15800.

The pound remains under pressure amid the inflation slowdown in the country. The National Statistical Office of Great Britain reported that in June the consumer price index (in annual terms) was 2.6% compared to the previous value of 2.9%.
