The EUR/USD has continued to act to major fundamentals events. The Federal Reserve press conference beat down the USD, then the ECB boosted the Euro. Most recently, the US employment data caused a major surge of the US Dollar. The chart has seen spikes and drops throughout the last few days, which have ignored almost all technical levels.

The Average Hourly Earnings were expected to increase by 0.3% and hit the forecast. Non-Farm Employment Change forecast was 193,000, but turned out to be at 517,000. The Unemployment Rate was expected to be at 3.6%. Actual number is 3.4%.

Our technical analysts suggest to wait until the market takes in the news. However, note that the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages have continued to impact the rate. Moreover, round exchange rate levels appears to have some impact on the pair.
