EURUSD started off on the wrong foot the last week obviously. From the very beginning the bears rushed to fight for 1.0850 mark. Later, on Tuesday, they repeated the attack but bulls has managed to keep the key mark, postponing the battle for trend. Most probably, the current or the next week will be vital for the pair’s trend. The new week brings such key events for the US dollar as Fed Reserve meeting and October employment report.

Rally

EURUSD

Last week the dollar bulls were proving their supremacy. They had to fight again for passing downwards the 1.10 level by EURUSD pair. Draghi once more has rattled nerves but very soon everything got back to its place. Euro confirmed its downtrend.

During first trading week of the new month and quarter, the American currency was feeling pretty good as a whole.

Volatility indicator ATR (22), showing daily range of the last month, is being on the lows from the middle of 2014 during almost two months.
