Current trend

On Monday, despite weak US ISM Manufacturing PMI, which declined from 50.2 to 50.1 points in October, the US dollar managed to strengthen against most its counterparts at the end of the trading day.
During last three weeks, the price of gold has been falling, indicating that investors are getting ready for a possible US interest rate hike. As long as there is a 92% correlation between the price of gold and the EUR/USD pair, this downward dynamics cannot be overlooked while analyzing further movement of the EUR/USD pair.
Today it is worth noting the ECB President Mario Draghi's Speech. The head of the ECB will comment on prospects of the EU monetary policy.

Support and resistance

OsMA and Stochastic on the 4-hour, weekly and monthly charts are giving sell signals. On the daily chart, they, probably, indicate that an upward correction has not finished yet.

The breakdown of the level of 1.1020 (the lower border of an upward channel on the weekly chart) may allow the price to continue declining to 1.0860, 1.0820 and 1.0500 (year lows).
