EUR/USD analysis for 06/12/2018:
The ISM Non-Manufaturing data are scheduled for release at 03.00 pm GMT and the market participants expect a slight decrease in figures from 60.3 to 59.2.
ISM Non-Manufacturing gauge of business conditions in non-manufacturing industries, based on measures of employment trends, prices and new orders. Though non-manufacturing sectors make up the majority of the economy, the ISM Non-Manufacturing has less market impact because non-manufacturing data tends to be more cyclical and predictable. However, these sectors do account for a considerable portion of CPI. As a result, the figure gives insight into conditions which can impact output growth and inflationary pressures.
The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index is based on a sample survey of purchasing and supply executives, weighted according to industry contribution to GDP. The Index is calculated using 50% as the centerline between positive and negative expectations; the figure is reported in headlines as the percent change.
Let's now take a look at the EUR/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame.

The market participants should wait for the price to break above or below any of the important levels.
