The EUR/USD currency pair shows the same behavior as yesterday, with a first part of the day bullish, with a peak day at 1.1360, followed by a correction, with a new low of 1.1310 for the moment, the lowest since last Friday.

Several factors come in effect to weigh on the EUR/USD pair, with in particular a rise in the Dollar, supported by the bearish pressure on the pair GBP/USD due to concerns about the Brexit, as well as because of the sharp rise in USD/CAD following the decision of the BoC to maintain its key rate to 1.75%.

Note that this rise in the Dollar is also visible on the USD/JPY pair, which manages to confirm a return above the psychological threshold key 113 on Wednesday.

Regarding the pair EUR/USD, the fall caused by the rise of the Dollar has given rise to a new trough, but failed to lead to a break significant. EUR/USD remains above the support of 1.1315-20, a support which blocks the attempts of decline since the beginning of the week.

From a graphical point of view, it should be noted that the attempt of the rise of EUR/USD this morning has been blocked by the moving average 100 hours currently to 1.1358. We can therefore consider the area of 1.1350-60 as the first critical resistance near current levels.

To summarize, the trend is éclaircirait for the decline in the case of a break below 1.1315-20, before in this case of potential objectives to be 1.13 and 1.1265, the lows of last week.

Has the upside, a break above 1.1350-60 would give a profile more bullish in the short-term the pair EUR/USD, with potential targets buyers to the resistance of 1.14, 1.1420-25, 1.1450 and 1.15.

Finally, it should be noted that the day of tomorrow will be particularly busy for the pair EUR/USD in relation to the economic calendar, since most of the statistics scheduled for this Wednesday has been postponed to tomorrow, due to a public holiday in honor of the 41st president of the United States George H.
