Friday’s US employment data for July came out positive. Nonfarm payrolls increased 187,000 in July, average hourly earnings rose 0.4%, and the unemployment rate declined from 3.6% to 3.5%, even after June’s increase of 209,000 got revised lower to 185,000 while the labor force participation rate remained unchanged at 62.6%.
The price closed the day with a 58-pip gain, failing to reach both the target level of 1.1068 or the Fibonacci correction level of 38.2%. Trading volume was high, so the euro may develop upward movement. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator has turned upwards, and the border of the bullish territory is nearby.
On the four-hour chart, the upward movement ended at the MACD line, afterwards the price returned below the resistance level of 1.1012. The Marlin oscillator is in the positive territory, indicating that the euro is likely to take a breather before it grows further.
