EUR/USD Awaiting news to breakout the recent consolidation mode

The EUR/USD pair is trading slightly higher today with current market price 1.0905. The macro agenda is not offering much, having in mind that European markets are closed because of the Labor Day, but US released the Personal Consumption Expenditure Core (YoY)(Mar) numbers and ISM Manufacturing (APR) data, which do not seem likely to change the negative sentiment towards the greenback. Yet traders are looking for events of higher importance to potentially breakout the pair.
Technically, the pair remains in short term uptrend, despite the recent consolidation mode from the last six sessions of 1.0820 and 1.0950. On the four-hour time frame indicators has moved higher.RSI and stochastic are located slightly above their mid-lines and meanwhile the price is gravitating around the flat 20-day SMA, currently being at 1.0895.
Key resistance is seen at 1.0930 – 1.0950 area and in case bulls succeed to conquer it, next target is the psychological barrier at 1.1000. Looking to downwards, major support stands at 1.0855 and next one is located at 1.0820.
