Week Ahead June 5 – 9

EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session unchanged after an attempt to break lower and an attempt to break higher. The pair’s attempt to break higher was due to dovish FED’s comments on interest rates. Few FED’s officials have previously comment that the central bank will increase rates by 0.25% in July. Although FED’s Jerome Powell signaled that the central bank is done with interest rates and this helped the pair to recover some lost ground. Although the better than expected non-farm payroll manage to bring the pair sharp on the downside erasing all gains and closed around same levels.

As for this week traders and investors will mainly focus on the economic releases. As the FED is entering its black week, where no comments are allowed ahead of July’s rate decision, the trading session expected to be choppy in a tide range. From the Euro side the most important catalyst will be the gross domestic product.

On the economic calendar we have on Monday the US ISM services PMI pointing lower at 51.5 on Tuesday European retail sales expected at -1.8% On Thursday European gross domestic product expected at 1.2%

Technically the picture is neutral after last week’s rejection of 61.8% and close just below (50%). In this week’s trading session if pair continues on the upside will test 1.0811 (38.2%) Alternative a break and close below 1.0625 (61.8%) will accelerate losses and open the road for 1.0500. Our traders are long at 1.0715 targeting profits above 1.1000 We are expecting more aggressive buyers at 1.0620 and short sellers to appear above 1.0923 (23.6%)
