Trading the ECB: the most likely scenario, key levels and EUR/USD forecasts
As ECB will take center stage this week so Barclays Capital made some fundamental and technical forecasts concerning EUR/USD.
Fundamental Forecast.
"An increasingly cautious Fed, coupled with an uncertain EM outlook, has benefited the EUR recently, contributing to tighter euro area financial conditions. Coupled with the recent drop in inflation expectations, such tightening has significantly raised expectations for additional ECB stimulus, making this week’s ECB meeting (Thursday) the market’s key focus."
"The most likely scenario, in our view, is a continuation of the dovish rhetoric, followed by the announcement of a QE time extension in December, when the ECB updates its Q4 15 staff economic forecasts."

The price is on bullish ranging between 1.3456 resistance and 1.1919 support level.

"The Canadian Dollar broke out of its 4-month rising impulsive channel rather aggressively. This drop brought about a 600 pip decline from the late September high of 1.3457 to a current corrective low of 1.2833."
"This is the lowest level since the Bank of Canada surprised markets with a rate cut and USDCAD went from ~1.21 to 1.3450 in short order. Since then, Oil has regained some footing and if you remove the 8-most volatile components of Canadian CPI, we’re over 2%. Additionally, we’ll have the Bank of Canada and PM elections that will likely spark volatility in the Loonie."

EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Euro Declines After Forming Bearish Candlestick Pattern
W1 price is located below 200 period SMA (200 SMA) and below 100 period SMA (100 SMA) for the primary bearish with secondary ranging between 1.0607 support level and 1.1956 resistance level:
"The Euro moved downward against the US Dollar as expected after prices put in a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. Sellers now aim to challenge support below the 1.13 figure, with a breach putting the fate of the upswing from mid-March in play."
"A daily close below 1.1254, the intersection of the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion and a rising trend line set from early August, opens the door for a test of the 50% level at 1.1180. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 1.1346 clears the way for a challenge of the 14.6% expansion at 1.1402."
