EUR/USD analysis for 11/09/2018:
The data from Germany and the rest of the Eurozone in form of ZEW Economic sentiment will be released at 09:00 am GMT. A German Firm, the Center for European Economic Research (ZEW), queries financial experts throughout Europe every month in order to make a medium-term forecast about Germany 's economic situation. They ask experts to evaluate the current situation and to predict the future direction of the economy. For all components of the survey, responses are restricted to positive, negative, or unchanged. This simple structure allows the survey to be quick and efficient in terms of turnaround time, as well as easy to understand and interpret. Experts are asked for a qualitative assessment of the direction of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates and the stock market in the next six months. Thus the indicator provides a medium-term forecast for the German economy.
Let's now take a look at the EUR/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The market is still trading inside of the black channel and currently, the bulls are trying to challenge the technical resistance at the level of 1.1627. In a case of a bullish breakout, the next target is seen at the level of 1.1655 and a better than expected ZEW data might be a fundamental trigger. Please notice, the momentum remains neutral to positive and now is pointing to the upside which supports the short-term bullish bias.
