The technical pattern on EUR/USD is ambiguous. The currency continues to be in a sideways trend. Weak statistics on the US economy put pressure on the US currency. At the moment, investors adopted a wait-and-see attitude before the publication of the report on inflation in the US. The key trading range is 1.17200-1.17750. We recommend you to open positions from these marks.

If the inflation report in the US is positive, the bearish sentiment may prevail on the EUR/USD currency pair. The movement is tending potentially to 1.17000-1.16500.
An alternative may be the growth of the EUR/USD quotes to the level of 1.18200-1.18500.

In the Asian trading session, the currency failed to overcome the local resistance of 1.27500, which caused a correction. A round level of 1.27000 is a key support. Today's report on inflation in the US will be a driver for the further alignment of forces on the USD/CAD currency pair.
