US housing figures: Tuesday, 13:30. Building Permits stood at 1.26 million annualized in October and are projected to advance to 1.27 million in November. Housing Starts stood at 1.23 million and are projected to remain at the same level. They will have a meaningful impact if they both go in the same direction. The sometimes cancel offset each other with one number beating expectations and the other missing them.

As could be seen on the daily chart that the pair is about to reach the downtrend line shown on the chart in blue. In case the pair reached this level and shows up some bearish evidence, we can go short targeting the level of 1.13 followed by 1.1220 during the week. This will be conditioned by the continuation of trading below the down trendline.
