The greenback strengthened after unimployment report

The Euro/dollar, which began to decline on last Thursday after Draghi`s promises to apply the non-standard measures to combat the growing deflation threat, continues to decrease.

The negative inflation trends in the euro area will support the “bears” in the short positions formation.

Until the ECB meeting and Mario Draghi’s press conference results the euro/dollar stood almost on the spot. As usual, during the press conference, Mario Draghi market volatility increased, and in the lights of this the pair jumped to 1.3807, then returned to its original position, from the beginning of the decline. As a result the support around 1.3720 has been tested and broken. Now this level acts as a resistance, which limits the recovery attempts.

The support levels: 1.3700-1.3630, and the resistance levels: 1.3740 -1.3800.

Trading Recommendations

Theoretically, we should expect a further decline towards 1.3618, the growth to 1.3755 should be considered as a good chance to go short.

Pound

The indicators show a downward movement to the level 1.6550. After its break the pair will go to 1.6480.

After the level 104.11 testing the dollar/yen retreated to 103.20, where it was able to find a support. Still some weak movements can be seen between the 104th mark and this level. The “bears” are trying to push the rate below through the support.

The support levels: 103.43 - 103.20, and the resistance levels: 103.60 – 103.63.

MACD indicator indicates a further decrease

Trading Recommendations

In case of a success, the “bears” will be able to test the support at 103.60-103.20.

Theoretically, the decline towards 103.00 should be used to open the long positions with the expectation of the 104th mark breakdown.
