On Wednesday, we saw disappointing ADP jobs report and a soft headline for US ISM Manufacturing, which has been decelerating since Q4 2014, The soft US data helped EUR/USD find support above the 1.07 handle as we can see in the 4H chart.

Meanwhile, price never poked above the 200-period SMA during the rally in the second half of March. The 4H chart represents price mode in the past week or 2, and according to it, EUR/USD is squaring up at the crossroads ahead of tomorrow’s NFP.

A reading around 250K is decent and would actually be a positive sign towards the FOMC’s interest rate hike plans. However, we are very unlikely to see the move mid-year, which is probably going to hurt the USD a bit. So, unless the reading is close to 300K again, the jobs report will unlikely give the USD a boost. However, against the euro, the USD should not retreat too much neither. Let’s see what happens after the NFP. A break below 1.07 puts EUR/USD on a bearish continuation or at least puts pressure on the 1.0462 low on the year up to the 1.05 handle.
