EUR/USD
Sellers in the EUR/USD have shown-up again after the pair failed to overcome the 1.1650-level. We will turn our focus to the 1.15-level which remains a crucial support for now. Looking at the 4-hour chart we see that the euro is still trading within an overall support zone ranging from roughly 1.1650-1.15 (blue area). A break below 1.15 could open the door for a steeper slide. Whether we will see accelerated bearish momentum depends on the risk appetite for dollars amid the trade war theme.
GBP/USD
The pound continued its slide against the dollar and dropped below 1.32. We will keep tabs on the 1.3120-1.31 area which could prove a short-term support-zone. A current resistance is however seen at 1.3220. 
What will be important for today? Draghi and Fed Chairman Powell will join a panel on central bank policy at the third and final day of the Sintra central bank forum.
