FX.co ★ EUR/USD Analysis on 6th May

EUR/USD has lost its traction after having tested 1.0600 earlier in the day but managed to stay in positive territory above 1.0550. The data from the US confirmed that labor market conditions remain extremely tight in April with NFP rising more than 400K despite a decline in the participation rate.

The pair is trading near the static resistance of 1.0560, which is reinforced by the 50-period SMA on the four-hour chart, and a four-hour close above that level could open the door for a rebound toward 1.0600 (psychological level, Fibonacci 23.6% retracement level of the latest downtrend). Finally, 1.0660 (Fibonacci 38.2% retracement) forms the next significant resistance.

On the downside, 1.0540 (20-period SMA) aligns as interim support ahead of 1.0500 (psychological level and 1.0470 (multi-year low set on April April 26).
