Core Inflation Rate is projected to grow by 4.2%.

Technical Analysis

EUR/USD managed to settle below the support level at 1.1800 and is trying to get below the next support level at 1.1775. In case this attempt is successful, EUR/USD will move towards the support at 1.1750. RSI remains in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain downside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.

A move below the support at 1.1750 will open the way to the test of the support at 1.1720. In case EUR/USD declines below this level, it will head towards the next support at 1.1690.

On the upside, the previous support at 1.1800 will serve as the first resistance level for EUR/USD. A move above this level will lead to the test of the resistance at the 20 EMA at 1.1810.

In case EUR/USD manages to get above 1.1810, it will get to the test of the resistance at the 50 EMA at 1.1820. If EUR/USD moves above the 50 EMA, it will head towards the next resistance level at 1.1830.
