As it was expected, the currency pair failed to pass through the 200-hour SMA from the first attempt. However, a combined pressure of the 55- and 100-hour SMAs in conjunction with the weekly PP was too strong to allow the Euro to make any advances against the Dollar.
As a result, the new trading session the rate started near the 1780 mark, facing no support barriers on its way up until the weekly S1 at 1.1735. This fact plus the 57% bearish market sentiment and an aggregate of technical indicators, which sends a clear sell signal, suggest that the currency pair is going to continue to move to the bottom, trying to reach the 100% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.1715.
But there is a need to take into account an effect from release of the Euro Zone's inflation data and German business sentiment.
