According to the official numbers from America, the trend of unemployment rate in this country was not to the extent predicted. In March, only 120 thousand job opportunities offered by employers were clocked which was lower than predicted. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell from 8.3 to 8.2 percent in March of this year.
From a technical perspective:
As you can see in the above picture, EUR/USD on time frame H1 is within a bullish channel. If the currency pair succeeds to break the 1.3370 resistance and closes above this level, the short term trend may change from bearish to bullish. However if it fails to break the 1.3370 resistance again, it may return to the channel.
Have a nice time.
Masoud.
