As it was expected, after reaching the weekly S1 at 112.19 traders tried to push the rate to the top. However, a combined resistance formed by the 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs in conjunction with the weekly PP at 112.81 expectedly neutralized this attempt. 

Moreover, the released FOMC meeting minutes showed some uncertainty regarding the need on another interest rate hike this year, which additionally devaluated the buck against all other major currencies. 

These facts suggest that the pair is unlikely to break in the northern direction today as well even if the US PPI will appear to be better than analysts expected. 

In support of this scenario speaks the fact that the average market sentiment remains 63% bearish. Plus the pair has formed a new descending channel.
