Personal opinions today:
The European central bank has announced its decision on interest rates. The central bank has left interest rates unchanged without any easing measures. The euro has stabilized. However, the UK may face hard Brexit at the end of October, and it is difficult to rise in the euro target. It may believe that the downside risks of pound and the euro. In addition, the higher the downside risk to European currencies, the dollar index rose. It could fall against other major currencies against the dollar.
Last week, the US real GDP for the second quarter beat market expectations, but still fell sharply from the previous quarter. The market generally believes that the federal reserve will meet on Thursday, the market is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. Because of past market sentiment that fed rate cuts and money flowing into the gold market generally boost gold prices, Europe faces increased risks of a hard Brexit . Money flows into safe-haven assets, believe the JPY and gold prices remain stronger.
Watch for key economic data from major currency countries this week, such as Japan unemployment rate and the bank of Japan interest rate decision tomorrow. Eurozone economic sentiment index, consumer confidence index, German CPI, US core price index and consumer confidence index. That was followed by other important economic data on Wednesday that affected currency volatility. Since then, it maybe various major markets and currencies have varying degrees of volatility, which is more likely to affect the US ADP payroll and officials non-farm payrolls data released within the week, the trend of the U.S. dollar, please note.

EURUSD
1.1165/1.1180 resistance
1.1120/1.1105 support
The European central bank stopped short of starting a broad monetary policy, but the euro's gains were held back by dovish comments from the central bank's governor. Ahead of U.S. jobs and interest rate decisions this week, the euro zone's economic and inflation data and jobs data are better than expected. Technically, the euro still has an opportunity to test the 1.1165 to 1.1180 resistance range. Support bits can be referred to 1.1120 and 1.1105. If the euro zone economy and inflation weaken more than market expectations, or the euro could test a pre-1.1095 low or below. It is worth noting that the Swiss franc is often affected by the trend of the euro. When investing in the euro, watch the Swiss franc move in step with the euro.

If Britain were to force a reversal of its previous agreement with the EU, the pound would come under pressure. Last week, this analysis pointed to an opportunity for the pound to dip below support of 1.2380. Currently bearish for pound, has broken through the support level. If the Brexit news does not improve, pound is heading for $1.22 level. Currently refer to technical, 1.2415 and 1.2440 resistance, support levels 1.2335 and 1.2310.
