Details of the economic calendar for March 29

Data on the lending market in Britain coincided with the expectations of experts. Mortgage lending is rapidly declining, as is the number of approved mortgages. Against this negative background, no one paid attention to the growth in consumer lending.

During the American trading session, data on the number of job vacancies in the United States was published, which slightly decreased in volume.

Analysis of trading charts from March 29

The EURUSD currency pair showed strong upward interest after a long stagnation in the 1.0960/1.1050 range. As a result of the short exchange rate, the euro strengthened by more than 150 points, eventually hitting a local maximum on March 17 at 1.1137.

Despite the high speculative activity, the GBPUSD pair ended the day near the opening, which led to the formation of a Doji candlestick pattern. This candlestick signals the balance of trading forces as well as uncertainty among traders.

March 30 economic calendar

Today, the ADP report on employment in the United States is expected to be published, which is projected to grow by 450,000 in March. This is a positive signal for the labor market if the data is confirmed.

Almost simultaneously with the ADP report, the final data on the United States GDP for 2021 will be published. The data will likely be left without much attention, which will confirm the preliminary assessment.

Time targeting

ADP report - 12:15 Universal time

U.S. GDP - 12:30 Universal time

Trading plan for EUR/USD on March 30

In this situation, the local maximum at 1.1137 plays the role of resistance, which temporarily put pressure on buyers in the form of a technical pullback. In order for the upward cycle to be extended to new price levels, the quote needs to stay above 1.1180 in a four-hour period. This step will lead to further formation of a corrective move from the pivot point 1.0800. At the same time, the regular basis of the past, associated with the 1.1120/1.1180 area, may well put pressure on long positions. In this case, a slowdown in the upward cycle is possible, followed by a weakening of the euro, following the example of a price rebound on March 17th.

In this situation, a characteristic uncertainty could arise due to the convergence of the price with the psychologically important level of 1.3000, where there was a reduction in the volume of short positions in history. The risk of a price rebound from the pivot point in the market remains, so the prolongation of the downward cycle will be considered by traders only after holding the quote below 1.3000 in a four-hour period. Until then, a variable or a local pullback is possible.
