Some investors are hoping for the Fed to come into action and change their dovish stance, which seems highly unlikely in the current situation. So, we might witness a further decline in the US dollar index against its major peers.

In the next two days, we might see a cautious approach in the market before the Eurozone monetary policy meeting to find further opportunity.

The UK Unemployment figures surprised with the decline to 4.9% against to 5.1% the projected figure in the market. Moreover, further relaxing the lockdown stages will improve the condition. However, it might be difficult for the British pound to hold the grip at the high levels. Because the USD possibly bounces back due to strong economic result in further following the economic stability.
Based on the technical analysis, the 1.4040 level appeared to be the immediate key resistance zone.
