Details of the economic calendar on January 13

Last week ended with the publication of data on industrial production in the United Kingdom and the European Union. The rate of decline in UK industrial production accelerated from -4.7% to -5.1%. These are poor figures, which signal a confident slide of the British economy into recession. Moreover, previous figures were revised for the worse. A month earlier, similar data showed a decline in the industry of -2.4%.

In the European Union, things were better, with industrial production showing growth of 2.0%. However, in the previous month, the growth rate was 3.4%. Thus, there is a slowdown in the growth rate.

There was no proper reaction to the statistical data in the market.

Analysis of trading charts from January 13

EURUSD strengthened in value by more than 200 points at the peak of the cycle during the past week. As a result, the quote updated the local high and held above the 1.0800 resistance level. The absence of a full-blown correction in the market, despite the fact that the overbought status was observed at the peak of the cycle, suggests that speculators ignore the overheating of long positions in the euro.

GBPUSD appreciated by about 150 points during the past week. Unlike the euro, the pound has not yet updated the local high of the upward trend of October last year. At the moment, there is a recovery relative to the corrective move from the mid-December.

The previously passed 1.0800 resistance level is now playing the role of support, where the price rebounded during the recent pullback. This again indicates the desire of buyers to keep the upward cycle set in the market. A stable holding of the price above the 1.0800 level allows the subsequent growth of the euro.

As for the consideration of downside scenario, the quote first needs to return below the value of 1.0770 in a four-hour period.
