The EURUSD rallied from a 1.0350 support as Dollar bulls lost steam post negative Labour data. EURUSD extended gains by +0.03% although bulls remain capped under the 1.0650 resistance. The ECB members continue to rally behind the possibility of the policy change as markets begin to price in a 25bps as early as July. Investors look forward to the ECB’s Lane speech and President Nagel later in the New York Session.
The US negative housing data and labour statistics continue to underpin the USD strength in the near term. However, a hawkish Fed remains a major headwind to the EURUSD bulls as markets expect a 50bps in the next two policy meetings. The German 10-year bond yields are currently capped by 9.20% and a failure to break above that area may reinforce a bearish outlook on the EURUSD.
Major events to watch out for are the Fed meeting minutes next week Wednesday and US GDP data on Friday.

The EURUSD is currently trading at a critical resistance at 1.0600 and a break above that area may see bulls targeting the 1.08000 resistance. Price has crossed above the Bollinger Band (20) baseline (yellow) indicating a change in market direction in the near term.
The RSI indicator is at a 50.0 pivot level reading and a break above that area may renew bullish interest although upside gains remain challenged by the 1.08000 and 1.1100 psychological barriers.
