Looking at the euro currency (EUR) on the above daily MT 4 chart, the benchmark EUR/USD Forex market continues to look in favor of the sentiment linked single currency from the Eurozone. The world’s most liquid currency exchange rate, however, is showing some signs of running out of steam and bullish momentum.
The euro currency finished the week below the key level in play at 1.19 but is still above the downside barrier in play at 1.1740 and above the short term twenty (20) day moving average (DMA). The economic calendar, on Monday, is rather quiet as the new trade week kicks off.
The European Union will release their monthly Sentix consumer confidence gauge and the United States is publishing monthly JOLTS jobs openings data. The United Kingdom will release their monthly BRC retail sales data.

If this happens, then the first downside barrier to monitor would come into play at the 10 June high price point at 1.1422.
