EUR/USD Trading Plan for October 5

It can be assumed that the strengthening of the euro may continue if the price stabilizes above the 1.0500 level. However, if speculative downward trends resume and the quote falls below 1.0470, a local low may be updated.

GBP/USD Trading Plan for October 5

Despite the current pullback, it is worth noting that the British currency has experienced a decline of about 1000 points during the downward cycle. This fact confirms the oversold status of the pound sterling in the market and may signal the possibility of subsequent recovery of long positions. As for the downward scenario, it will be relevant for traders if the price returns below the 1.2050 level. In this case, further price declines are allowed, possibly even to the lower boundary of the psychological level at 1.1950/1.2000.
