During Wednesday’s trading session, the European Single Currency surged to 1.1340 level to end the trading session at the 1.1311 mark. During Thursday morning hours, the currency exchange rate was resisted by the 200-hour simple moving average to trade at the 1.1323 mark.
In regards to the near-term future, most likely, the currency exchange rate will move sideways between the 200-hour and the 100-hour SMAs at the 1.1300 level.
On the other side, today’s US Retail Sales data release at 13:30 GMT may push the rate to break the 200-hour SMA to trade near the monthly PP at 1.1413 or move the rate downwards to trade near the 61.80% Fibo at the 1.1203 mark.
