Here's the details of the economic calendar for May 10:

The trading week began with an empty economic calendar, but judging by the activity in the market, traders continued to recover the negative statistics on the US labor market from May 7.

After the US Department of Labor report, there was growth in the unemployment rate from 6.0% to 6.1%, with the forecasted decline to 5.8%. At the same time, the change in the number of people employed in the non-agricultural sector in April increased only by 266 thousand, against the expected growth to 978 thousand. Such a sharp divergence in forecasts provoked a wave of sales of the US dollar.

Analysis of trading charts from May 10:

Looking at the EUR/USD trading chart, it shows that the quote has been around the range of 1.2125/1.2180 for more than a day, which signals the highest status of the concentration of trading forces relative to one place.

To simply put it, we have an accumulation process, where traders will work on the principle of breaking through a particular range border, revealing the outgoing impulse as a result.

As for the GBP/USD trading chart, a stagnation in the borders of 1.4105/1.4157 can be observed, where there was a compression of the existing amplitude relative to the Asian trading session.

Such a narrow amplitude fluctuation in combination with a high status of speculative operations leads to a cumulative process, which is highly likely to lead to an early acceleration in the market.

In this situation, the best trading tactic is considered to be the method of breaking through a particular stagnation border.
