Following the decision of the ECB to lower the deposit rate and resume the QE program, Eurodollar remains under pressure. According to ECB President Mario Draghi, the balance of risks for the economic prospects of the Eurozone "is still shifted in the negative direction".
Given the expectation of a tough Brexit, low inflation and a slowdown in the Eurozone, as well as the threat of an escalation of trade wars, the ECB is likely to continue to take measures to stimulate and support the European economy, which will lead to further weakening of the euro. A further decline in EUR/USD should be expected.
At the beginning of the European session on Tuesday, the EUR/USD is trading in the range near the 1.1000 mark, trading in downward channels on the daily and weekly charts, below key resistance levels of 1.1190 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 1.1245 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 1.1285 (level Fibonacci 23.6% of the correction to the fall from the level of 1.3900, which began in May 2014).
In case of breakdown of the resistance level of 1.1026 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), EUR/USD will go towards the resistance level of 1.1067 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart). The maximum of correctional growth is possible up to the resistance level of 1.1090 (the upper border of the downward channel and ЕМА50 on the daily chart). The long-term negative dynamics of EUR/USD prevails. Breakdown of the local support level of 1.0960 will provoke a deeper decline and will direct EUR/USD towards 1.0900, 1.0850 marks.
The data released on Monday once again indicated that the German economy is on the verge of a recession. Germany's Preliminary Procurement Managers Index (PMI) fell to 41.4 from 43.5 in August, reaching a low of almost ten years. A value below 50 indicates a decrease in activity. France PMI data were also worse than expected.
