The pound bulls may lose the optimism

With the U.S. trading session opening we will get the Germany inflation preliminary data, the bond market sentiment suggests not to wait any positive surprises. Soon investors' attention will be focused on the U.S. GDP data for the second quarter.

The euro/dollar decrease was continued. The pair has broken the support at 1.3420 and stays very close to the 35th figure. Obviously, the downtrend is in its active phase and the euro/dollar may fall to the support at 1.3330 in the medium term.

The support levels are 1.3355- 1.3375, and the resistance levels are 1.3420 - 1.3440.

MACD is in a negative territory.

Trading recommendations

The euro shows the oversold signs so we can expect the "bulls" attempts to develop an upward correction. The recovery up to 1.3535 will not carry the downward trend threat still the rising above it may weaken the downward pressure.

Despite the improved outlook, the dollar still needs to break and consolidate above 103.00 and only then we can say the downtrend is over.
