EURUSD Technical Analysis

Analyzing the daily chart of the Eurodollar, the 24-day moving average acts as support, and dips are being bought. The downside appears to be solidifying, with a gradual rise evident. Upon analyzing the Fibonacci retracement, the level corresponding to 23.6% is around USD 1.0640, which seems to act as a resistance.

If it surpasses the recent high of USD 1.0695, there is a possibility of aiming for the 240-day moving average and moving higher. Today’s US unemployment claims and tomorrow’s US employment statistics are in focus.
