Support is seen near former resistance at 1.1244, while resistance is now seen near the May highs at 1.1616. Momentum has turned positive with the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index generating a buy signal. This occurs as the spread (the 12-day moving average minus the 26-day moving average) crosses above the 9-day moving average of the spread.U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased 38k in May following a 123k increase in April which was revised down from 160k and a 186k jump in March which was revised from 208k, for a net -59k revision.
