Meanwhile, on Monday, U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that the Federal Reserve could start tapering of asset purchases as early as October if the job employment data falls in a range of 800,000 and 10,000,000 for the next two months.
Waller suggested that if jobs data falls in this range during August and September, it would mean that the U.S. economy had reached near the pre-pandemic level and would force the central bank to reduce its bond purchases worth $120 billion per month.

EUR/USD - Technical Outlook
The technical side of the EUR/USD pair hasn't changed a lot, as the EUR/USD continues to trade sideways between a narrow trading range of 1.1900 – 1.1845 level. On the upper side, the resistance stays at the 1.1900 level. On the 4-hourly chart, the EUR/USD pair has already violated the downward trendline that's now extending support at the 1.1850 level. A bearish breakout of this support level can expose the EUR/USD pair towards 1.1810 support. That's where the 50 M.A. (moving average) stays and can trigger a bounce off in the EUR/USD. However, the bearish crossover below this level can expose the EUR/USD pair towards the 1.1760 support level. The bullish bias dominates the EUR/USD above 1.1850 today. On Wednesday, the investor's focus will stay on the U.S. ADP figures as this may offer them further clues about the EUR/USD trend. All the best!
