On Monday, the EUR/USD currency pair continued to trade within the horizontal channel of 1.0451–1.0596. We have specifically zoomed out the chart to show how long the price has remained within this sideways range. Thus far, there are no signs of the flat movement ending. This week, there are plenty of macroeconomic and fundamental events in the U.S. and the Eurozone. However, we must remind you that over the past three weeks, numerous significant news releases have also occurred, yet the pair remains in a flat phase. Therefore, the presence of important events does not guarantee the end of the flat trend.
Yesterday's business activity indices from Germany, the Eurozone, and the U.S. were highly contradictory. While the services sector showed solid results, the manufacturing sector disappointed across all mentioned regions. Consequently, the euro responded appropriately to the macroeconomic background by failing to define a clear direction on Monday.
On Monday, the 5-minute timeframe showed two trading signals for selling. The price bounced twice from the 1.0526 level and a third time during the night. At least the first signal was worth executing, but the nearest target level was not achieved. Therefore, novice traders could have closed positions manually to secure a profit. Today, a few reports will be released in both the Eurozone and the U.S., which theoretically may allow the euro to continue rising.
The EUR/USD pair remains in corrective mode while trading within the sideways range of 1.0451–1.0596 on the hourly timeframe. After a two-month decline, there is no rush to buy the euro. This week, the price could break through the channel's lower boundary, signaling the resumption of the downward trend that began three months ago. However, much will depend on macroeconomic data and fundamental factors.
It is challenging to expect a clear movement from the pair on Tuesday. Although there will be a fair number of economic releases today, traders failed to break the channel's lower boundary. Therefore, a continuation of the euro's growth is possible.
On the 5-minute timeframe, the following levels are relevant for trading: 1.0269-1.0277, 1.0334-1.0359, 1.0433-1.0451, 1.0526, 1.0596, 1.0678, 1.0726-1.0733, 1.0797-1.0804, 1.0845-1.0851, 1.0888-1.0896. On Tuesday, the Eurozone will publish several German reports on business climate, economic expectations, and sentiment, which we consider secondary. In the U.S., data on industrial production and retail sales will be released. These are more significant reports, but it is unlikely that they will lead to strong market movements today.
