Worse than expected European country Purchasing Managers Indices caused a constant decline of the Euro from 07:00 GMT up to 08:00 GMT on Friday. The rate eventually started a recovery, which has reached back above 1.0900.

However, it has been spotted that the EUR/USD is encountering resistance in the 200-hour simple moving average. Meanwhile, the 1.0900 was acting as support during the early hours of Monday's trading.

Economic Calendar Analysis



This week, the pair could react to the release of US Durable Goods Orders on Tuesday at 12:30 GMT.

On Thursday, the US Gross Domestic Product release is highly likely going to impact the financial markets via an adjustment of the USD value.

On Friday, at 12:30 GMT, the US Core PCE Price Index is set to impact the US Dollar.

A move above the 200-hour simple moving average and the weekly simple pivot point at 1.0916 could almost immediately be stopped by the 50 and 100-hour simple moving average. Higher above, note the weekly R1 simple pivot point 1.0987.

On the other hand, a decline below 1.0900 might look for support in the 1.0880 and 1.0850 levels. These levels have acted as support on Friday. Further below, take into account the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.0819.
