In this situation, when the macroeconomic calendar is empty and no important statistical data is expected, market participants will pay special attention to the information flow. They can follow the news, speeches of central bank officials, political events, or other factors that can influence financial markets. In such cases, traders and investors can rely on fundamental data analysis, technical analysis, and their own assessments of the situation to make trading decisions.

If speculators continue to ignore the technical signal of overbought dollar positions, it may lead to the prolongation of the current corrective cycle. However, the level of the euro's weakening indicates that sellers are in a vulnerable position. If technical signals are not ignored in the market, a stagnation in the form of a short-term flat, a period of no clear price movement, is possible. In such situations, traders can expect the market to be in a sideways trend, without a clear trend in either direction.

In order for the volume of short positions to resume growth, the quote needs to return to the level of 1.2350. This step may indicate the possibility of breaking the support level and prolonging the current corrective move from the medium-term trend high. For a bullish scenario to be considered, the quote needs to hold above the value of 1.2450, which can open the way for further growth in the currency pair's value. However, note that the market is influenced by multiple factors, and the final direction of price movement may depend on their interaction and subsequent events.
