US JOLTS Job Openings: Tuesday, 14:00. The number of job openings serves as another indicator of the health of the job market. While it lags the NFP, the Fed told markets it is of high importance. After beating expectations for quite a few months, May’s number was a setback: a drop to 5.67 million annualized. A small gain is on the cards now. A similar level of 566K is expected now

  • EURUSD

Update: still traded within the bearish candle. The pair is traded right below a strong resistance level that could be found at 1.1900 so we believe that as long as the pair is traded below it, it is highly recommended to go short targeting the level of 1.1600. On the other hand, breaching the level of 1.1600 would open the door for further downward movements during the week that the pair may reach the level of 1.1500.

Resistance levels: Support levels: Recommended:
▪ 1.1900

We remain bullish as long as the pair is traded above the level of 1.1600.
