Details of the economic calendar of March 21:

Monday was traditionally accompanied by a blank macroeconomic calendar. Nevertheless, there was an information and news flow on the market.

The main theses of the speech of the ECB and the Fed (21/03/22):

ECB President Christine Lagarde: ECB monetary policy will not be synchronized with Fed policy

Atlanta Fed President and FOMC Member Raphael Bostic:

- geopolitics = uncertainty for the economy and markets

- supply chain situation could worsen further

- geopolitics can increase inflationary pressures

- control over the growth of inflation is the No. 1 priority

- Fed rate hike forecast = 6 hikes in 2022 and 2 hikes in 2023

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell:

- we are far from equilibrium on the Fed's balance sheet

- The Fed may go for a faster balance sheet cut

- The Fed will raise rates immediately by 0.5% if necessary

- we do not expect short-term progress in reducing inflation

- I do not see an increased likelihood of a recession in 2023

The comments of the chairmen of the Fed and the ECB provided local support to the U.S. dollar.

Analysis of trading charts from March 21

The EURUSD currency pair managed to strengthen the downward movement from the resistance area after the breakdown of the psychological level of 1.1000. This move indicates the prevailing interest of traders in dollar positions, which, as a result, may lead to the completion of a corrective move.

The GBPUSD currency pair has been moving within the 1.3180/1.3200 resistance area for several days in a row. This led to a slowdown in the corrective move and, as a result, a sideways amplitude of 1.3100/1.3200.

March 22 economic calendar:

Tuesday is not much different from Monday, the macroeconomic calendar is still empty. Traders will continue to analyze the information flow for hot topics.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on March 22:

Stable retention of the price below the level of 1.1000 may well lead to a subsequent recovery of dollar positions relative to the recent correction. In case of a coincidence of expectations, the euro rate may fall to the values of 1.0900-1.0800.

An alternative scenario for the development of the market will be considered by traders if the quote returns above 1.1050. This step may well disrupt the recovery process.

Trading plan for GBP/USD on March 22:

In this situation, traders are still considering the trading tactics of breaking one or another control value relative to the price stagnation. In this regard, buy positions will be valid after holding the price above 1.3210 in a four-hour period, and sell positions would be active after holding the price below 1.3080 in a four-hour period.
