EURUSD finished the week by producing a bullish weekly candle. The pair seems to be bullish as far as the charts are concerned. However, we might see a different picture on Monday when the market starts. The reason behind this is “French Election”. The election is going to take place on Sunday. Thus, the EURO pairs might start the week with huge gap and it could be either a gap up or a gap down depending on who wins the French election. Let us now see other scheduled events in the coming week that will create volatility on the EURUSD.

Thursday-11^th March 2017-12.30 GMT

Both of them are high impact news events. “Unemployment Claims” causes more volatility. This week’s forecast is 245 K. On 04.05.2017 the claim was 238K; on 27.04.2017 the claim was 257K; on 20.04.2017 244K; on 13.04.2017 the claim was 234K; on 06.04.2017 the claim was 34K.
