EUR/USD retreats in the aftermath of US NFP data
EUR/USD has given up its upward momentum after facing selling pressure near the key resistance level of 1.0900 during the North American trading session on Friday. The currency pair declined as the US Dollar strengthened significantly following the October Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data. Although there was an initial negative reaction, the Dollar quickly regained strength, with the DXY Index rising above 104.00.
The report indicated that the economy added only 12,000 new jobs, which is significantly lower than the estimated 113,000 and the previous month’s 223,000, which was revised down from 254,000. The unemployment rate remained stable at 4.1%, as expected.
Looking at the technical chart, we can see that the trendline indicates a clear downtrend for this currency pair. The downward momentum of EUR/USD is likely to continue as it encounters two key resistance levels at 1.088 and 1.085. If the price fails to break through these levels, it may lead to a deeper decline, with the next target potentially being the support level at 1.080. Conversely, if the pair breaks the 1.088 resistance and stays above it, this could create an opportunity for a recovery, opening up the possibility of testing the 1.090 level again.
