The dissemination of Pan-European Retail Sales is scheduled for early Friday. Sales are anticipated to increase by 0.2% month-over-month in May, compared to the previous -0.5% decline. Moreover, the annualized sales are expected to increase by 0.1% year-over-year from the previous 0.0%.

Investors Await High-Impact US Releases

EURUSD Forecast Technical Analysis

In the daily chart of EURUSD, the ongoing price action is corrective from where a potential bullish breakout could initiate an impulsive trend.

In the most recent chart, a buying pressure is visible above the dynamic 100-day Simple Moving Average level, while the 20-day EMA remains below the current price.

Moreover, the buying pressure is supported by the bullish channel breakout, which is working as a minor bullish signal.

Based on this outlook, a long-term buying pressure might come after having a bullish break and a daily close above the 1.0852 resistance level. In that case, the upward pressure is likely to extend towards the 1.0849 resistance level.

The alternative approach is to look for a bearish opportunity, after having a massive selling pressure from the 1.0850 to 1.0800 zone. In that case, a daily close below the 20-day EMA could open the short opportunity, targeting the 1.0600 zone.
