Here are the details of the economic calendar for February 8:

The macroeconomic calendar yesterday was empty, so traders focused on technical analysis.

Analysis of trading charts from February 8:

The EUR/USD pair has been stagnating at the peak of the upward cycle for the fourth day in a row. This movement led to a price amplitude in the range of 1.1400/1.1480.

It should be considered that the picture looks different on the daily chart. The upward cycle mentioned above is only a correction in a medium-term downward trend. Therefore, it is impossible to fully discuss the change in trading interests from a downward trend to an upward one.

During the price rebound from the resistance level of 1.3600, the GBP/USD pair returned to the level of 1.3500 where a slight stagnation arose. Judging the price's action, it can be said that the upward cycle from the level of 1.3355 remains in the market, in the structure of which there was a regrouping of trading forces.

February 9 economic calendar:

The macroeconomic calendar is empty for three consecutive days, but everything will fall into place tomorrow when US inflation data is released. At this time, traders are still focused on the technical picture, but everything will change soon.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on Feb 9:

The quote is still moving in the range of 1.1400/1.1480. It can be assumed that such a long-term price movement in a closed amplitude will lead to accumulation and regular acceleration when the price is kept outside one or another border of the established range. Therefore, the strategy of trading on the breakdown of a particular flat border in a four-hour period is considered the most appropriate tactic.

We express the above-mentioned into trading signals:

Buy positions should be considered after holding the price above the level of 1.1485 with the prospect of moving to 1.1580.

Sell positions should be considered after holding the price below the level of 1.1400 with the prospect of moving to 1.1350-1.1300.

Trading plan for GBP/USD on Feb 9:
