In my morning forecast, I focused on the level of 1.0931 and planned to make trading decisions from that point. We should examine the 5-minute chart and analyze what happened. The price rose to the area of 1.0931, but there was no false breakout, so I did not enter the market in the first half of the day. As a result, I did not enter any trades during the morning session. The technical picture was not revised for the second half of the day.
To Open Long Positions on EUR/USD:
The data from Germany and Italy did not trigger a spike in volatility as expected. Given that there are no significant statistics in the afternoon, the end of the week is likely to be quite dull and uneventful. Therefore, I won't rush to enter the market. I prefer to wait for a decline and the formation of a false breakout around the new support level at 1.0907, formed based on yesterday's results. The target will be a rise and a retest of the new resistance at 1.0931, where I expect sellers to begin emerging. A breakout and a subsequent retest of this range from top to bottom could strengthen the pair, with a chance to rise towards 1.0958. The furthest target would be the maximum at 1.0985, where I will fix profits. If EUR/USD declines and there is no activity around 1.0907 in the second half of the day, sellers will regain the initiative and start building a downward trend. In that case, I will only consider entering after a false breakout around 1.0884. I plan to open long positions immediately on a rebound from 1.0855, with the target of an intraday correction of 30-35 points.
To Open Short Positions on EUR/USD:
Sellers continue to maintain the initiative. Given the lack of significant U.S. statistics, defending 1.0931 with a false breakout would be a suitable scenario for opening short positions with the target of falling to the support at 1.0907, formed based on yesterday's results. A breakout and consolidation below this range, followed by a retest from the bottom up, will provide another entry point for selling with movement towards 1.0884, where I expect to see more active buyers. The furthest target would be the area of 1.0855, where I will fix profits. Testing this level will negate buyers' plans to build an uptrend. If EUR/USD rises in the second half of the day and there are no bears at 1.0931, buyers will have a chance to regain the initiative. In that case, I will postpone sales until testing the next resistance at 1.0958. I also plan to act there, but only after an unsuccessful consolidation. I plan to open short positions immediately on a rebound from 1.0985, targeting a short-term downward correction of 30-35 points.
In the COT report (Commitment of Traders) for July 30, there was a decrease in long positions and a significant increase in short positions. The ECB's decision to leave rates unchanged with a direct hint at their reduction in September coincided with the rather dovish position of the Federal Reserve, which also indicated that it would not leave rates unchanged in early autumn this year. Considering the recent data on the U.S. economy, the regulator likely needed to act much earlier, leading to the panic that is currently observed in the stock market and the risk of a recession next year, which is unfavorable for the strength of the U.S. dollar. The COT report indicated that long non-commercial positions decreased by 5,923 to 183,006, while short non-commercial positions increased by 12,184 to 165,207. As a result, the spread between long and short positions widened by 2,801.
