Against the background of a sharp rise in energy prices, inflation in the Eurozone jumped to 3.4%, reaching its highest level in 13 years. Because of the rise in inflation, workers in Germany started to strike and demand higher wages to cover the price increases.
From the technical point of view, the EUR/USD trend is bearish. But the MACD indicator has become inactive. It indicates that the sellers have stopped putting pressure. Under such market conditions, traders should consider sell deals from the resistance levels near the moving average, as the price has deviated from the middle line. Buy trades should be considered only from the support levels with additional confirmation in the form of a buyers’ initiative.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.1717 resistance level and fixes above, the mid-term uptrend will likely resume.

The dollar index remained at the same level on Friday while oil prices increased. As a result, the USD/CAD quotes decreased due to the strengthening of the Canadian currency. Canada’s GDP fell by 0.1% in July. Growth is expected in August.
