Here are the details of the economic calendar for February 15:

The UK's labor market data were published yesterday, where the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.1%. At the same time, the number of applications for unemployment benefits in January fell by 31.9 thousand. Despite the positive data, they still coincided with market expectations, so there was no reaction.

The second estimate of Eurozone GDP for the fourth quarter reflected an acceleration in economic growth from 3.9% to 4.6%. This is a positive factor, but there was no market reaction due to the coincidence of indicators with the first estimate of GDP.

This was followed by the US producer price index data during the American trading session, the growth rate of which slowed down from 9.8% to 9.7%. It is worth considering that they predicted a slowdown in prices to 9.1%, so the current figure is not bad.

Analysis of trading charts from February 15:

The EUR/USD pair moved into a pullback stage after a sharp decline, where the level of 1.1280 serves as a variable pivot point. Based on the prices behavior in the market, there is a gradual process of restoring the downward trend relative to the recent corrective course.

The GBP/USD currency pair remains within the limits of the side channel 1.3500/1.3600 despite a local surge in activity. A long-term movement in a closed amplitude signals the indecision of market participants to action. In turn, this can lead to a process of accumulation of trading forces, which will provoke speculators to price surges.

The technical pullback from the pivot point is still relevant in the market. In this regard, the volume of short positions fell, which led to a slowdown in restoring the downward trend. The next sell signal will appear if the price stays below the level of 1.1260 in a four-hour period.
