Today, intraday volatility will depend on inflation data in the eurozone and on statistics on the American labor market, which needs to be emphasized. It is very important to find out what the dynamics of employment growth in the US from ADP will be in March of this year. A decline in the indicator much more than in the consensus would lead to a fall in the US dollar and a rise in the pound and the Japanese yen. Poor performance in the ISM Services PMI will also have a negative impact on the US dollar. However, the speeches of FOMC members, led by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, will have a much greater impact on the market. His dovish tone and willingness to cut interest rates will further hurt dollar positions.
If the data coincides with analysts' forecasts, then it is better to act based on the Mean Reversion strategy. If the data turns out to be much higher or lower than expectations, it is best to use the Momentum strategy.
