Day 6 - Will EUR/USD break to the upside ?

Greetings,
With NFP disappointing, the Euro should see a break to the upside.
I say this because the USD (DXY) and EUR/USD are moving with matching highs and lows.
Indicating the Euro is being bought.
Looking at momentum indicators and pivot S/R on weekly TF - EURUSD may see upside to the 1.171/3 band.
Cheers !!

He has been under attack from President Trump over the Fed’s interest rate increases.

30 July - Monday's trading analysis !!

HI traders,
BoJ Interest Rate Decision is ahead.
It is scheduled at 2 GMT on 31/July.
