Economic Calendar Analysis
During the week, most attention will be put on the US Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index data. The data sets are expected to reveal the inflation in the United States in the aftermath of the first Federal Reserve Rate hike done in March. Consumer Price Index and Core Consumer Price Index number will be published on Wednesday at 12:30 GMT.
On Thursday, at 12:30 GMT, US Producer Price Index and Core Producer Price Index data will reveal inflation levels at the production level. In addition, take into account that the weekly US Unemployment Claims are scheduled to be released at the same time. Note that on their own, the claims have not been capable of increasing volatility. The moves on USD on April 28 were caused by the release of the negative US GDP, not the Unemployment Claims.

Further below, take into account the 1.0450 mark and the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.0400.Meanwhile, a move above 1.0600 is highly likely set to encounter resistance in the weekly simple pivot point at 1.0609, before reaching the post Federal Reserve Press Conference high level zone at 1.0626/1.0642.

EUR/USD daily chart's review
On the daily candle chart, a new channel down pattern has been marked. The channel captures the rate's 2022 decline.Most recently, the pair appears to have encountered its lower trend line, which means that the pair moved too much from the broad decline's centre and the recent sell off resulted in the EUR/USD being oversold. Due to that reason, the pair has been consolidating by trading almost sideways between 1.0470/1.0490 and 1.0600.
