It is a minor one due to the fact that components of this number are being released prior to it. Namely, Euro Zone countries release their data on their own before the combined Euro Zone CPI.

EUR/USD hourly chart's review

There were to near term future scenarios for the pair after bouncing off the 1.1000 level. The pair was either going to pass the support of the weekly R3 simple pivot point or bounce off it.

In the case of bouncing off it, another test of the 1.1000 level's resistance could be expected.

On the other hand, if the support level fails, there would be no other technical levels that could stop a decline as low as the 1.0916 level.
