EUR/USD kicked off the day gathering some fresh bids after the release of robust Chinese data. The data surprised the market with above-the-consensus Chinese March Retail Sales, Industrial Production and, Gross Domestic Product figures. Following the sound reports, the euro climbed 29 pips, ranging from the support line of 1.1280 levels to 1.1309 levels. Notably, the pair broke the strong 1.1307 resistance and was heading to breach the next 1.1312 resistance level.

The pair may sustain the bid tone, knocking off the stubborn 1.1315 resistance line today. But, this breakthrough might only happen if the upcoming euro economic events strike above estimates.

The upbeat Chinese data creates new hopes to improve the current global economic structure. In the meanwhile, the greenback computed against its six major rivals was 0.22 percent down, during the Asian session.
