Analysis of trading charts from March 18

The EURUSD currency pair once again reduced the volume of long positions in the resistance area of 1.1120/1.1180. This led to a rebound in prices and a partial recovery of dollar positions. Relative to market cycles, the quote is in a medium-term downward trend, in the structure of which a corrective move has occurred.

The GBPUSD currency pair has been moving within the 1.3180/1.3200 resistance area for the third day in a row. This led to a slowdown in the corrective course and, as a result, a stage of stagnation. Regarding medium-term cycles, the downward trend from June 2021 continues on the market, where the psychological level of 1.3000 serves as support.

Monday is traditionally accompanied by an empty macroeconomic calendar. Nevertheless, stable information and news flow will continue to play on the nerves of speculators, which allows for new jumps in the market.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on March 21:

The process of restoring dollar positions is still relevant in the market. The strengthening of the downward move may occur when the price is kept below the value of 1.0990. In this case, movement in the direction of 1.0900–1.0800 is not excluded.

An alternative market development scenario will be considered by traders if the price holds above 1.1200 in a four-hour period.

Trading plan for GBP/USD on March 21:

The stagnation stage will soon end, where the existing amplitude of 1.3100/1.3200 will play the role of a lever for speculators. In this case, the most optimal trading strategy is the method of breaking through one or another stagnation border.

We concretize the above into trading signals:

Buy positions on the currency pair are taken into account after holding the price above the value of 1.3210 in a four-hour period with the prospect of a move to 1.3285.

Sell positions should be considered after holding the price below 1.3080 with the prospect of a move to 1.3000.
