Analysis of trading charts from September 21:
The Euro managed to slightly strengthen its position against the US dollar, pulling back the quote from the level of 1.1700 by about 40 points. The downward interest still takes place among market participants for this very reason, but the pullback was replaced by stagnation.
In this case, traders consider the 1.1700 level as a temporary pivot point when forming a decline.
The trading plan on September 21 considered the possibility of a further downward movement, but the signal for action should have come after the price had kept below the level of 1.1700.
The GBP/USD pair slowed down the decline in the area of 1.3640, where a pullback occurred at the beginning, after stagnation at 1.3640/1.3690. Despite the pound's high level of oversold, market participants are still focused on the decline. This is indicated by a number of technical factors: the absence of correction, the process of deceleration, and an increase in the volume of short positions.
Short positions or Short means sell positions.
September 22 economic calendar:
Today, everyone is focused on the results of the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), where the regulator will certainly leave the key interest rate unchanged at the level of 0-0.25%. The most important point is the fate of the quantitative easing program, where if it is announced, a wave of speculation will arise in all markets. In simple words, the US stock market will sharply decline, and the US dollar will strengthen.
A number of events are particularly important ones, so speculation is expected at the time of the press conference. Be cautious.
FOMC meeting results - 18:00 Universal time
FOMC press conference - 18:30 Universal time
Trading plan for EUR/USD on September 22:
Market participants regarded the price movement within the level of 1.1700 as stagnation. Most likely, the information and news background will provoke speculators to new leaps. In this situation, the coordinates 1.1700 and 1.1750 are considered signal levels. The price being kept outside a certain level may indicate a local movement.
To simply put it, trading is carried out on a breakdown of one level or another.
Trading plan for GBP/USD on September 22:
The oversold level may be ignored by market participants. If the price is kept below the level of 1.3640, a path will open towards the range of 1.3600-1.3571.
