A break of this level would pave the way for losses targeting the <strong>3392<\/strong> area, which is a key support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Bearish Scenario:<\/strong> <strong>If the 3356 resistance is broken:<\/strong> This might open the way for a recovery attempt to quickly target <strong>3374<\/strong> and then <strong>3392<\/strong>.<br><br><strong>Fundamental Note:<br><\/strong>Today, we are awaiting high-impact economic data from the US economy: &#8220;Weekly Unemployment Claims, Preliminary Reading of the Services and Manufacturing PMI.&#8221; <strong>This data may cause strong price volatility when released.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Warning<\/strong>: The risk level is high amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios may be plausible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Risk Disclaimer:<\/strong> Trading CFDs involves risks, and therefore all scenarios may be plausible.
