EUR/USD taps 1.1100 handle ahead of EU CPI and GDP

The EUR/USD pair is once again attempting to build on to FOMC-led recovery move and has now moved back close to 1.1100 handle ahead of key Euro-zone macro releases.

A broadly weaker US Dollar, led by disappointment from BOJ monetary policy decision, helped the pair to rebound from session low around 1.1070 support marked by the very important 200-day SMA and trade in positive territory for third consecutive session.

Later during European trading session, flash version of Euro-zone inflation figures for July and GDP print for second quarter of 2016 will drive sentiment around the shared currency and assist investors to determine the near-term direction of the EUR/USD major.

With the scheduled release of US GDP data, growth numbers would continue to be in focus during NA trading session as well.

Technical levels to watch

Bulls would be looking for a sustained move above 1.1100-1.1110 immediate resistance, above which the pair seems all set to immediately aim towards recent swing highs resistance near 1.1190 area before extending its near-term bullish trajectory towards its next major resistance near 1.1240-50 horizontal zone.

On the flip side, reversal from current resistance area, and a subsequent break below 1.1050 intermediate support, might now negate possibilities of any further up-move and drag the pair below 1.1000 psychological mark, towards testing an important support near 1.0950 region.
