EUR/USD has entered the fourth consolidation session with choppy sideways trading. The pair has failed to stay above 1.1800 (10-EMA) level since Monday and still flirting with 1.1780 support level.
The pair lost traction after reports indicating rough negotiations with the UK and Brexit deal, weighing negatively on the euro. On the other hand, last weak upbeat US data and approval for tax plan is still boosting the US dollar with expectations for more upward action as the December rates odds are on the US Fed's menu.
Draghi, head of ECB will cross wires today but expectations are high for a neutral stance, no game changer for the euro currency.

Comment The choppy slide this week is shifting the short term trend bias down and warns for a larger unfolding selling wave to 1.1760-/1.1700. Trade is poised for selling pressures today. A reluctance to extend / stay under 1.1800- cautions for a bounce into congestion near 11840. However, a close over 1.19000* is needed to highlight a reversing upturn form corrections to launch a fresh bull wave near 1.2000+.
