Details of the economic calendar of November 11

The macroeconomic calendar focused only on statistics from the UK, which came out better than expected. The final estimate of GDP for the 3rd quarter reflected a slowdown in the economy from 4.40% to 2.40%, with forecast of 2.10%. Meanwhile, the rate of decline in industrial production is slowing down from -4.3% to -3.1%, although forecast assumed that the indicators would remain at the same level.

As a result, the pound sterling, overbought in recent days, continues to hold its positions in the market.

As for the US ballot count, the preliminary totals are:

House of Representatives: Democrats 204 - Republicans 212. Control requires 218 seats out of 435.

Senate: Democrats 50 - Republicans 49. Control requires 51 seats out of 100.

The data is not final, the ballots are still being counted.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on November 14

In view of the clear signal that the euro is oversold, a price rebound from the 1.0350 resistance level is allowed. In this case, sellers will receive local support in the market, and buyers will be able to regroup their positions.

Traders will consider the subsequent upward movement if the price holds above the level of 1.0350, at least in a four-hour period. In this case, we will receive a technical signal about the prolongation of the ascending cycle.

Trading plan for GBP/USD on November 14

The new trading week was opened with a downward GAP, where the overbought pound sterling entered the stage of a technical pullback. The previously passed 1.1750 resistance level now serves as support, where the quote returned during the pullback.

Presumably, the upward inertial mood still takes place in the market. For this reason, a price return above 1.1855 could restart long positions. As for the current pullback, for its prolongation and transition to the correction mode, it is necessary to be consistently below the level of 1.1750.
