Details of the economic calendar for March 28
Monday was traditionally accompanied by an empty macroeconomic calendar, however, the information flow played on speculators' deals.

Data on the UK lending market will be published today, where a decrease in mortgage and private lending is expected. Nevertheless, an increase in consumer lending is possible, but in general terms, the indicators are not the most favorable. These statistics may negatively affect the pound sterling.
During the American trading session, the report on Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey in the United States will be published, which is likely to decrease. This indicates a deterioration of the situation in the labor market, which is regarded by the market as a negative factor.

A strong price change during the past day led to a local oversold of the British currency in the short term. This is expressed on the chart as a price stagnation of 1.3075/1.3105. A signal about the prolongation of the downward cycle will occur at the moment when the price is kept below 1.3066, which will lead to a movement towards the support point of 1.3000.
An alternative scenario allows for a transition from the stagnation stage to a local pullback in case the price is kept above the value of 1.3110.
