EUR/USD continues its downtrend and trades in negative territory below 1.0700 as the US Dollar benefits from upbeat data during the US trading session. S&P Global reported that economic activity in the US private sector continued to expand at a strong pace in June.
The risk-averse market atmosphere has helped the US Dollar (USD) gain strength, forcing EUR/USD to stand firm. Disappointing PMI data from Germany and the Eurozone weighs on the Euro find a need. Late Friday, S&P Global released preliminary US Manufacturing and Services PMI data. US PMI data is better than expected, USD could maintain its strength into the weekend and cause EUR/USD to fall below 1.0700.
EURUSD's retracement is close to the critical support level of 1.065. The uptrend was almost broken when the 1,070 level was completely broken. If EUR/USD falls below 1.065 and takes it as resistance, the slide could extend to the 1.062 two-month low.
On the upside, 1.0700 (psychological level, static level) can be considered as temporary resistance ahead of 1.0730 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement, EMA 34 and EMA 89) and 1.0780 (50% Fibonacci retracement).
