M5 chart of EUR/USD

EUR/USD was still trading within the 1.0581-1.0658 horizontal channel on Friday. As I mentioned earlier, such a clear horizontal channel is now more of a positive than a negative thing because traders have clear trading reference points that they can use. But in general, there is no such movement, which means that we can hardly call this a favorable time to trade. There was even some macro data on Friday, but unfortunately they didn't provoke any significant reaction. I can only single out the most important and resonant report on orders for durable goods, which turned out to be much worse than the forecasted value, but as we can see, the dollar neither rose nor dropped by the end of the day.

Moreover, EUR did not even reach any of the Ichimoku indicator lines or levels. Therefore, there were no signals so long or short positions should not have been opened. The situation remains unambiguous - a flat with all its consequences.

COT report

This image is no longer relevant

The COT reports for the euro in the last few months have been fully consistent with what is happening in the market. You can clearly see on the chart that the net position of big players (the second indicator) has been growing since early September. Around the same time, the euro started to grow. At this time, the net position of the non-commercial traders has been bullish and strengthens almost every week, but it is a rather high value that allows us to assume that the upward movement will end soon. Notably, the green and red lines of the first indicator have moved far apart from each other, which often means the end of the trend. During the given period, non-commercial traders opened 12,700 long positions, whereas the number of short positions fell by 4,800. Thus, the net positions rose by 7,900. The number of long positions is 143,000 higher than the number of short positions opened by non-commercial traders. So the question now is how long will the big players increase their longs? From our point of view, this process can not continue for another 2 or 3 months. Even the net position indicator shows that we need to "unload" a bit, that is, to adjust. The overall number of short orders exceeds the number of long orders by 43,000 (684,000 vs. 641,000).

H1 chart of EUR/USD

EUR/USD is still in a high position on the one-hour chart, and is still in a total flat. Lines of the Ichimoku indicator may soon merge with each other and lose all meaning. We should now rely on the 1.0581-1.0658 horizontal channel. If EUR manages to go beyond it, then we can count on some trend movement. On Monday, the pair may trade at the following levels: 1.0340-1.0366, 1.0485, 1.0581, 1.0658, 1.0736, 1.0806, as well as Senkou Span B (1.0589) and Kijun Sen (1.0656). Lines of the Ichimoku indicator may move during the day, which should be taken into account when determining trading signals. There are also support and resistance levels, but signals are not formed near these levels. Bounces and breakouts of the extreme levels and lines could act as signals. Don't forget about stop-loss orders, if the price covers 15 pips in the right direction. This will prevent you from losses in case of a false signal. On December 26, no important report or event scheduled in the EU and the US. Today is a day of rest in many countries around the world in honor of Christmas. I don't expect the flat to end. Volatility may remain low.

What we see on the trading charts:

Price levels of support and resistance are thick red lines, near which the movement may end. They do not provide trading signals.

The Kijun-sen and Senkou Span B lines are the lines of the Ichimoku indicator, moved to the one-hour chart from the 4-hour one. They are strong lines.

Extreme levels are thin red lines from which the price bounced earlier. They provide trading signals.

Yellow lines are trend lines, trend channels, and any other technical patterns.

Indicator 1 on the COT charts reflects the net position size of each category of traders.

Indicator 2 on the COT charts reflects the net position size for the non-commercial group.
