Economic calendar for May 10

Today, the market's focus is on inflation data in the United States. The consumer price growth rate is expected to slow down from 5.0% to 4.9%. This would serve as a kind of confirmation that the Federal Reserve will take a break in the interest rate hike cycle at the upcoming meeting in June.

This factor may lead to a weakening of dollar positions in the market.

EUR/USD trading plan for May 10

It can be assumed that the movement within the given range will persist in the market, where it is possible to apply two strategies at once: breakout or rebound relative to the set boundaries.

In case of considering a rebound tactic, it is necessary to wait for the price to hold beyond one or another boundary in the daily period. In this case, a technical signal about the subsequent price direction may arise.

For a technical signal of a prolongation of the medium-term upward trend to appear, the quote needs to return above the level of 1.2650. Otherwise, the retracement stage will still persist in the market for some time, allowing for a weakening of the euro rate towards 1.2550.
