Friday's U.K. retail sales data reflected a slowdown in the rate of decline from -6.1% to -5.8%. However, it should be taken into account that the previous data was revised negative from -5.8% to -6.1%.
The pound declined amid the statistical data.
EURUSD locally dropped below the level of 1.0650, but the quote did not manage to hold on to the new values. As a result, a pullback occured, which brought the quote back above the previously passed level. Based on the dynamics during the pullback period, there was a sharp reduction in the volume of short positions in the euro. Thus, the breakdown of the 1.0650 level might have been false.
GBPUSD failed to stay below the value of 1.1950. As a result, there was a reduction in the volume of short positions on the market, leading to a slowdown in the downward cycle, which caused a price pullback.
Today, the macroeconomic calendar is empty, the publication of important statistics is not expected. It is worth noting that today is a non-working day in the United States on the occasion of a national holiday. For this reason, banks and stock exchanges are not working, which may adversely affect trading volumes.
If the current pullback leads to strengthening of long positions in the euro, it may return the quote to the local high of the past week.
As for the downside scenario, the quote must first return below the level of 1.0650 and stay there in the daily period. In this case, the breakdown of 1.0650 will be confirmed on the market, which will open the way towards 1.0500.
The area of the 1.2000 support level still puts pressure on sellers, despite the fact that it was locally broken by the price. Presumably, the current pullback-stagnation will play the role of accumulation of trading forces. This, in turn, will lead to new price hikes.
As for the signal values, the boundaries of the deviation from the 1.2000 psychological level will be 1.1950 and 1.2050. These values are highly likely to become the starting point for speculators. Note that the quote needs to hold beyond this or that value in the daily period.
