This week will be particularly important for the EUR/USD pair. The euro has held up well despite global indices correcting, preventing the strength of the USD from impacting the pair's exchange rate.
This volatility is expected to remain high, with the release of economic activity data, the NFP, and the ECB's decision to cut interest rates.

Technical Analysis
According to technical analysis, the pair continues to trade above the structure that recently broke, and the 50-period EMA has played a significant role in supporting the upward trend. However, when we reduce the time frame, we notice that the pair has been moving sideways for several days. Given the important events this week, these moments could serve as catalysts to spark new momentum for the euro against the US dollar.
The break of the dashed trend line should be the trigger.
