On Tuesday, the EUR/USD currency pair traded exclusively sideways amid a near-total lack of fundamental and macroeconomic information. In the previous article, we noted that the only more or less significant report of the day—the US Durable Goods Orders—could provoke a market reaction only if the data differed significantly from forecasts. In reality, US orders in July fell by 2.8%, with projections ranging from -2.5% to -4.0%. Thus, the actual reading landed within the forecast range, so there was no reaction. Overall, the pair is at the early stage of a new uptrend, but the market is not rushing into active buying. This may again be due to the lack of news and the market's anticipation of events that will determine the dollar's future. However, in our view, the dollar's fate is already sealed. One way or another, traders still cannot break through the 1.1655–1.1666 area, meaning potential euro growth is temporarily on hold.
On the 5-minute timeframe, two decent sell signals formed on Tuesday, but volatility throughout the day was quite low. Thus, at best, you could make a couple of dozen pips. The price bounced twice from the 1.1655–1.1666 area, allowing for short positions to be taken. The last signal was formed in the evening, and the trade could be carried over to today by moving the Stop Loss to breakeven.
On the hourly timeframe, EUR/USD still has every chance to resume the uptrend that has been forming since the start of the year. The flat has ended, and a new bullish trend is forming, while the fundamental and macroeconomic background for the US dollar remains disastrous. Thus, as before, the US currency can only count on technical corrections.
On Wednesday, the EUR/USD pair may trade with low volatility again, as several important events are still scheduled for today. After breaking below and rebounding from the 1.1655–1.1666 area, a local decline toward 1.1571 can be expected.
On the 5-minute timeframe, watch the levels: 1.1198–1.1218, 1.1267–1.1292, 1.1354–1.1363, 1.1413, 1.1455–1.1474, 1.1527, 1.1552–1.1563–1.1571, 1.1655–1.1666, 1.1740–1.1745, 1.1808, 1.1851, 1.1908. On Wednesday, there are again no significant events or reports scheduled in either the US or the Eurozone, so volatility is likely to remain weak. This means that even high-quality trading signals may yield only modest profits.
