European PMIs surpassed expectations, exception made by Italian one, albeit they were not enough to boost the EUR: the common currency trades stuck around 1.3500 against the greenback, barely 20 pips away from this year low. Ahead of US opening, the bearish tone prevails in the pair, with the hourly chart showing price pressuring a flat 20 SMA and indicators heading south around their midlines. In the 4 hours chart indicators aim slightly higher in oversold levels, albeit price action does little to support an upward corrective movement: 1.3470 is still the key support to break to confirm another leg lower, eyeing the 1.3400 figure for today.
Support levels: 1.3470 1.3440 1.3400

Pound fell to fresh 2-month lows of 1.6322 against the greenback following worse than expected manufacturing data in the UK, maintaining a negative tone according to the hourly chart: price stands well below a strongly bearish 20 SMA while momentum continues heading lower despite RSI shows signs of being oversold. In the 4 hours chart, price broke below its 200 EMA now around 1.6430 offering dynamic resistance, while indicators maintain the bearish tone.
