EUR/USD analysis for 02/07/2018:

EUR is under pressure from events on the German political scene. CSU leader Horst Seehofer resigned from the position of the head of the Ministry of Interior and leadership in the party, which is the result of an immigration dispute in the government. According to Seehofer, the findings at last week's EU summit are unsatisfactory, as they will not reduce immigration to Germany. The risk of the coalition breaking up is rising, which is not a good news for the EUR.

Let's now take a look at the EUR/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. EUR/USD has been falling since the beginning of the trading week, from 1.1675 to 1.1630. The 50% Fibo at the level was too strong level for the bulls so far and the price is starting to fall again. The market conditions are slightly overbought at this time frame, so the bearish bias is being supported. The key support zone is seen at the level of 1.1509 - 1.1542.
