FxWirePro: EUR/USD dips below lower range following US jobs data

  • The EUR /USD pair fell as low as 1.0529 in the early US session, as greenback was boosted after data showed U.S. employment increased less than expected in December but a rebound in wages pointed to sustained labor market momentum.
     
  • Nonfarm payrolls increased by 156,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. The gains, however, are more than sufficient to absorb new entrants into the labor market.
     
  • Average hourly earnings increased 10 cents or 0.4 percent in December after slipping 0.1 percent in November.
     
  • Further upside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 1.0624 which should limit further upside and bring decline towards lower levels in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0570, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0624.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0516, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0481.
