The USDX still experience pressure after the FOMC meeting. The pair is moving towards lower highs and lower lows. The intraday support is found at 93.90 and 93.50. We have been recommending selling at 92.50 and 92.00. Data on US home sales, durable goods orders, and final GDP is due today. Traders eye existing home sales data. The European summit is another event to watch during today's session. Economists expect the US housing market to expand at a slow pace. The improvement in the labor market will support the housing market in coming months.
