The Euro has received an additional boost, as inflation in Germany has reached a new record high, being revealed to be above 10.00%. The event boosted the Euro, as the markets took in the news as pressure on the European Central Bank to increase monetary tightening.

On the technical charts the event occurred as a test and afterwards breaking of the 0.9750 level's resistance. By the end of Thursday's trading, the pair had reached the 0.9850 level, which provided resistance.

A decline of the Euro against the US Dollar might find support in the combination of the 0.9750 level and the 50 and 200-hour simple moving averages. Further below, note that the 0.9700 and 0.9650 levels and the 100-hour simple moving average might act as support, before September low levels would be reached.

Meanwhile, a surge of the pair would have to break the 0.9850 level, before testing the 0.9865/0.9875 zone, the 0.9900 level and the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 0.9937.
