The bullish sentiment prevailed on EUR/USD yesterday. The euro rose against the US dollar by more than 100 points. The currency formed a local resistance of 1.14250. The closest support is 1.13750. Today, the statistics on the labor market in the United States is in the focus of attention. Most experts expect the improvement of the basic indices. At the same time, the preliminary report from ADP turned out to be weak. Positions must be opened from the key levels.
- An average hourly wage 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
- Change in the number of people employed in the nonagricultural sector 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
- The unemployment rate 15:30 (GMT+3:00).
The EUR/USD quotes have fixed above 50 MA and 200 MA, which indicates the power of buyers.
The MACD histogram is located in the positive area, but below the signal line, which gives a weak signal to buy EUR/USD.
Stochastic Oscillator is in the neutral zone, the %K line is above the %D line, which signals an increase in EUR/USD.
- Support levels: 1.13750, 1.13150
- Resistance levels: 1.14250
Today we recommend reducing risks when opening a position.
If the statistics from the US turns out to be weak, the upward trend on the EUR/USD currency pair may continue. The movement is tending potentially to the round level of 1.15000.
An alternative may be the correction on EUR/USD to the level of 1.135001.13150.

The technical pattern on GBP/USD is still ambiguous. Yesterday’s trades closed with a slight strengthening of the pound against the US dollar. At the moment, the key levels of support and resistance are 1.29000 and 1.297500 respectively. We expect statistics from the UK and the USA.

At the moment, the USD/CAD currency pair is being traded in the flat. The key trading range is still 1.291501.30000. Investors expect publication of reports on the labor market in the US and Canada. Pressure on the Canadian dollar is caused by negative dynamics in the market of “black gold”.
- The report on the labor market at 15:30 (GMT+3:00);
- Ivey’s business activity index at 17:00 (GMT+3:00).

If the statistics from Canada proves to be weak, a correction movement may be developed on the USD/CAD currency pair. The target movement level is 1.305001.31000. When following a position, one should use a trailing stop.
An alternative may be a further drop in USD/CAD. The movement is tending potentially to the round level of 1.29000.
