The EUR/USD consolidates at fresh monthly lows after being hit by worse than expected PMI data early Europe. US weekly unemployment claims and CPI missed expectations, and despite core CPI improved, risk remains to the downside: stocks trade around yesterday’s close having extended their slide earlier today. The EUR/USD bounced from its daily low of 1.3166, yet so far seems unable to overcome 1.3200, where late sellers are joining the party. The hourly chart shows indicators turning flat in negative territory, reflecting latest consolidation, while 20 SMA heads lower well above current price. In the 4 hours chart technical readings hold to a strong bearish momentum, and chances of a move higher remain quite limited. The pair may extend its slide now only below 1.3150 support area, while 1.3245 will likely halt any attempt of recovery.

Support levels: 1.3150 1.3110 1.3080

Resistance levels: 1.3210 1.3245 1.3290
