Details of the Economic Calendar on October 6

The report from the United States Department of Labor exceeded expectations, revising job creation estimates upwards. Instead of the projected 150,000 jobs, a total of 336,000 jobs were created, and previous data were also revised upwards from 187,000 to 227,000. As a result of this updated report, the unemployment rate remained stable at 3.8%. Given these improved labor market indicators in the United States, the Federal Reserve may have the opportunity to raise interest rates in the future.

For the next stage of correction, a stable price stabilization above the resistance area is required. In the case of successful stabilization, growth towards the level of 1.0680 is possible. However, if the price does not hold in this area, there is a risk of gradual increase in short positions, which could bring the quote back to the level of 1.0500.

GBP/USD Trading Plan for October 9

For the further development of the corrective movement, it is necessary for the price to stabilize above the level of 1.2270. In such a scenario, gradual growth towards the level of 1.2350 is possible.

If considering a bearish scenario, an increase in short positions is expected after the price falls below the level of 1.2100. In this case, a local low could be reached, and the lower range of the psychological level of 1.1950/1.2000 would be considered as support.
