Technical analysis:
The dollar index broke through two levels of 94.15 and 94.03. Against the backdrop of an appreciation of the euro, there are risks of falling to 93.82. EUR/USD recovered to 1.1606. Growth has slowed down near the resistance, which is the upper line of the channel (it is built on three values: 1.1535-1.1513 and 1.1616).
From the low of 1.1513 to 1.1606, the rally has a five-wave structure in the form of an initial diagonal triangle. If there is no sharp decline before the close of the European session, then we are preparing for an increase to 1.1650. Supports are two levels 1.1590 and 1.1575.
Summary: on Monday, the EUR/USD pair closed with growth. Buyers met resistance at 1.1606. The focus of traders' attention shifted to the speeches of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, ECB Governor K Lagarde. A surge in volatility is expected after the release of the ZEW indices and the speech of K. Lagarde.
