Ahead of this event, EURUSD is sitting right at support on the daily chart. See below.
Technically, we are seeing oscillator divergence, in that RSI and MACD are noticeably off their respective lows since the last time the bottom support level of this range was touched. This may tame the case for a breakout. Still, though, if we close below support here, I think that may signal the green light for more room down in EURUSD.
The US dollar is strengthening across the board for the most part at the moment, although oil and oil exporting currencies are experiencing a bit of strength. Gold and silver are down noticeably, with silver below the key $29 level and gold below the key $1360 level at the time of this writing.
