EUR/USD Trading Plan for September 7

To continue the decline of the euro's exchange rate, it requires a sustained holding of its value below the level of 1.0700. In this case, speculators may ignore technical signals of euro's oversold conditions, and the quote may start a new phase of decline, heading towards the low observed in June. As for the scenario of the euro's rate recovery, some technical signals indicating a possible rebound are already visible. However, in the case of continuing the downward cycle, this rebound may be postponed to the levels of 1.0650/1.0680, where various trading forces interact.

GBP/USD Trading Plan for September 7

A stable price retention below the level of 1.2500 can strengthen the current downward trend, and traders may disregard some technical signals of the pound's oversold condition. In this case, momentum movement can lead to further price decline towards the 1.2350 support level.

On the other hand, the upward scenario is always under consideration by traders, especially considering the technical signal of oversold conditions. Sooner or later, this could lead to the closure of short positions, which could lead to a partial recovery in the value of the British currency.
