S&P Global has released the Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Managers Index survey results for the Eurozone countries. In general, the data has shown a larger than expected activity slowdown in the two sectors. The news caused a decline of the Euro.

On the EUR/USD charts the event caused a 56 base point or 0.51% drop. From a technical perspective the fundamental event provided the needed push for the pair to pass below the 1.0835/1.0845 range. After the initial drop a follow up decline started, as the rate appeared to be heading to the 1.0800 mark.

A move below 1.0800 level could look for support in the weekly S2 simple pivot point at 1.0775 or the combination of the 1.0700 mark and the weekly S3 simple pivot point at 1.0707.

On the other hand, a potential recovery is expected to encounter resistance in the weekly S1 at 1.0822 and the mentioned 1.0835/1.0845 range, Higher above, note the 1.0860 level and the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages.
