Here are the details of the economic calendar for January 28:
The previous week closed with an almost empty macroeconomic calendar. Statistics were released only for individual EU countries, but the market was not interested in them, nor in the EU's lending market data.
Analysis of trading charts from January 28:
The EUR/USD pair formed a stagnation below the support area of 1.1160/1.1180 after a sharp decline. This move indicates a regrouping of trading forces, which could be the beginning of a correction.
The downward trend from June 2021 continues on the daily chart. The move brought traders back to the levels of June 2020. Therefore, the current stagnation or correction will not disrupt the global trend in any way.
The GBP/USD pair slowed down its downward movement in the area of 1.3357, where a pullback occurred at the beginning, followed by a stagnation in the amplitude of 1.3360/1.3430. Given the pound's recent weakening, a correction is not ruled out if the current stagnation in the market drags on.
It is worth considering that when analyzing the daily trading chart, there is a gradual process of restoring downward interest. The quote has already gone over 60% relative to the recent upward cycle.
January 31 economic calendar:
The EU's preliminary data on GDP will be released today at 10:00 Universal time, where economic growth may accelerate from 3.9% to 4.7%. This statistical data may support the Euro currency.
Trading plan for EUR/USD on January 31:
According to the correctional pattern, the price movement will be confirmed in the market only after the price holds above the level of 1.1180. In this case, a movement towards 1.1210 - 1.1260 is not excluded. Otherwise, stagnation within the borders of 1.1120/1.1180 will continue to form.
Trading plan for GBP/USD on January 31:
In this situation, special attention is paid to the price range 1.3360/1.3430, since holding the price outside one or another border may well indicate a subsequent price move.
We express the above into trading signals:
- Buy positions should be considered after holding the price above the level of 1.3435, with the prospect of moving to 1.3500.
- Sell positions should be considered after holding the price below the level of 1.3355, with the prospect of moving to 1.3280.
