The main drivers of yesterday's growth in almost all market assets were the British pound and the US stock market. The new Minister of Finance, Jeremy Hunt, canceled the so-called "mini-budget" of his predecessor Kwarteng, on which the currency and debt markets of Great Britain went up. The pound rose by 1.05%, S&P 500 by 2.65%, also growing under the impression of good corporate reports, and the euro by 1.08% (117 points).
In its growth, the price almost reached the magnetic point of intersection of two lines - the target level of 0.9855 and the MACD line of the daily scale. Now the price has two actions to choose from: consolidate above this level and continue to rise to 0.9950, and turn down to the starting point of yesterday - to the level of 0.9724. The Marlin Oscillator is in the positive area, it tends to continue growing. The difficulty in choosing a direction is also that there are now two opposing investment ideas on the market: to continue buying risk on a positive background of corporate reports and to be careful in this, slowly getting rid of the euro, as amid continuing negative statistics on the euro area, the European Central Bank may raise the rate not by 0.75% but by 0.50% at a meeting on October 27, which, of course, will send the euro unambiguously down.
US industrial production data for September is released today. Forecast 0.1% vs. -0.2% in August. And if the data helps the euro to overcome the current resistance of 0.9855, then this will become an indicator of the mood of investors in the coming days (growth in risk appetite).
The situation is generally on the rise on a four-hour timescale. But in order to stay in the growing trend, the price must consolidate above the resistance. Otherwise, a quick return to 0.9724 may follow. This can happen in the event of sharply negative news.
