Economic Calendar



This week, all attention will be paid to the US Federal Reserve Rate Statement on Wednesday at 18:00 GMT. It is set to set the tone for the rest of the central banks and the global economy.

In addition, note that on Thursday, the markets will be watching the US Advance quarterly Gross Domestic Product data at 12:30 GMT.

Hourly Chart
If the resistance levels at 138.00 hold, the pair might decline and once again look for support in the 137.00 level. Further below, note the early July high and low level zone near 136.50 and the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 136.42.

However, a move above the 138.00 mark might encounter minor resistance in the 138.50 level, prior to approaching the 139.00 level and the July high levels at 139.35/139.38.
