Analysis of trading charts from March 22
The EURUSD currency pair, after a short walk below the level of 1.1000, has moved into the pullback stage. This movement has partially restored the euro rate, while the downward mood remains in the market.
The GBPUSD currency pair, after several days of stagnation in the range of 1.3100/1.3200, managed to overcome its upper limit. The breakdown was accompanied by high speculative interest, which led to the strengthening of the pound sterling by more than 140 points.
March 23 economic calendar:
Today, data on inflation in Britain were published, the growth rate of consumer prices accelerated from 5.5% to 6.2%. Taking into account the fact that last week the Bank of England announced a forecast of inflation growth to 7.0%, the current figures did not become something surprising in the market.
During the American trading session, data on new home sales in the United States will be published, where they predict an increase in the indicator. Given the time of publication and the level of importance of the data, one should not expect any strong reaction in the market.
Trading plan for EUR/USD on March 23:
In this situation, special attention is paid to consolidation in the range of 1.1010/1.1045, as it focuses speculators on itself. The breakdown of one or another stagnation boundary is highly likely to lead to new price jumps.
We concretize the above into trading signals:
Buy positions on the currency pair are taken into account after holding the price above the value of 1.1050 with the prospect of a move to 1.1070–1.1100.
Sell positions should be considered after holding the price below 1.1000 with the prospect of a move to 1.0960–1.0900.
Trading plan for GBP/USD on March 23:
The corrective move from the psychological level of 1.3000 is not just preserved in the market, it has been prolonged. Now the value of 1.3300 stands in the way of traders, where in case of its breakdown, a subsequent move towards 1.3370 is not excluded.
An alternative scenario for the development of the quote will be considered by traders, in case of confirmation of the signal that the pound sterling is overbought. In this case, the quotes may slow down relative to the current values, with the subsequent recovery of dollar positions.
