EUR/USD trades above 5-DMA

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The single currency remains elevated against the US dollar in the mid-Asian session, after the US dollar took a breather as the remaining optimism from US session’s strong labour data diminished.

Currently, the EUR/USD pair trades higher by 0.19% at 1.1856 levels, inching towards fresh daily highs at 1.1860 levels posted few minutes ago. EUR/USD edged higher as the US dollar weakening across the board after average hourly earnings fell in the US, despite an uptick in the labour market conditions index. However, EUR/USD remains exposed to downside risk ahead of European Central Bank’s (ECB) upcoming meeting later this month.

Meanwhile, markets now await a batch of crucial economic releases from the Euro-zone and the US in the week ahead which may provide fresh cues on the direction of the major currency pair.

EUR/USD Technical Levels

The pair has an immediate resistance at 1.1881 (10-DMA) levels, above which gains could be extended to 1.19 levels. On the flip side, support is seen at 1.18 levels, below which it could extend losses to 1.1753 levels.
