The Euro-Dollar has in fact marked a low of 1.1205 this afternoon, reversing the increase posted yesterday in the face of the service PMI ahead of expectations in Europe.

Several factors have indeed affected the EUR/USD today, starting with the rebound in the Dollar, in part due to registration weekly U.S. unemployment better than expected, 202k against 216k anticipated, is the most low-volume weekly entries in unemployment since 1969.

The concern surrounding the Brexit, which weighs heavily on the GBP/USD is also a factor that has weighed on the Euro today.

The reasons to see the pair EUR/USD to weaken are so numerous, and the fall could continue in the short term, in view of the next support potential to 1.12, 1.1185, and 1.1175, the lowest annual 2019.

In the case of rebound, the moving average 100 hours at 1.1222 and the moving average 200 hours to 1.1245 will be first resistance to consider.
