FX.co ★ Technical analysis of EUR/USD for January 08, 2016

Market Overview:

The Fed may still raise interest rates. The weakening economy in the eurozone is characterized by the slowdown in inflation, so the EUR/USD pair could weaken further. Today, the report on US Non-Farm Payrolls and US Unemployment Rate will be released. If the unveiled data does not match expectations and support the policy of interest rate hikes of the Fed, it can lead to reversal bias for the pair. From the technical point of view, we see a pattern "Three Little Indians" (picture-circle blue) on intraday charts, which indicates potential weakening.
