The Euro Zone economy continues to struggle with growth, after the ECB managed to put inflation under control. Comments made by President Lagarde indicate that the ECB is in a sort of hurry to put interest rates at the neutral zone. This means further rate cuts till the end of this year. Markets reacted to such a sentiment, by pushing Euro to the lower grounds. During the previous week the eurusd pair was testing the 1,08 support line, with lowest weekly level reached at 1,076. The currency pair rebound after, toward the highest weekly level at 1,083, however it is ending the week around the 1,08 level. The RSI reached the clear oversold market side, which indicates higher potential for a short term reversal. The moving average of 50 days started clear convergence toward the MA200, indicating a potential for a cross in the coming period.

The week ahead brings data for Non-farm payrolls and PCE Index which might bring a higher volatility to the market. The support line at 1,08 has been tested during the previous week, and it will be also a starting point for the week ahead. Considering that RSI is currently moving in the oversold territory, increasing the potential for a short reversal. In this sense, the level of 1,09 might be an easy target for the week ahead. Higher grounds are currently not indicated on charts. On the opposite side, charts are modestly revealing the 1,07 level, however, this might be a target for the longer-term period, and not for the week ahead.
