The Euro (EUR) extended downside movement against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, for the fourth day in a row, dragging the price of EURUSD to less than even 1.0950 ahead of the Eurozone inflation report which is scheduled for release today. The technical bias remains bearish due to a Lower Low and Lower High in the recent wave on daily chart.

Technical Analysis

As of this writing, the pair is being traded around 1.0946. A support may be noted near 1.0877, the 61.8% fib level ahead of 1.0817, the channel support as demonstrated in the following daily chart.

Eurozone Inflation

The EuroStat is due to release the Eurozone Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for July today. It is considered a main gauge for inflation. According to the median projection of different economists, the CPI remained 0.2% in July as compared to the same inflation in the same month of the year before.
