USD strength appears persistent as we move into the 3rd daily candle of the week. Manufacturing data was released and was worse than expectations. Eurusd duly corrected up in favor of the EUR +16 pips initially before price climbed +45 pips through the daily candle transition. This is unusual for a move to occur like this during the 1st hour of trading during the new daily candle. Price climbed to within 4 pips of our weekly resistance level 1.1024. As spreads calmed down, Eurusd has only seen sell pressure correcting down in favor of our bear trend by 35 pips at this point 1.0983 currently. This is alot of volume during asian session and so I'm anticpating a wild upcoming london and NY sessions. We have ADP , estimated employment data tomorrow during NY which may act as a catalyst to drop back towards 1.09488. 1.0948 4hr zone is playing a key role this week and will likely ultimately determine our direction with NFP at the end of the week.
It is important to note that price bounced from our daily support level today 1.09765. This bounce coincided with missed expectations USD manufacturing data. what a coincidence ! I like the engulfing candle that we observed during asian session and this sways me to favoring a continued range as we move into major employment data on Friday.

Comment:
I mentioned that "We have ADP , estimated employment data tomorrow during NY which may act as a catalyst to drop back towards 1.09488" When I woke up to trade this morning price was not moving up. Price was moving down after better than expected adp estimates and so I took a trade back to the 4hr support 1.09488 and left a runner position to 1.094 ( previous week's bottom wick)
