In my morning forecast, I drew attention to the level of 1.0714 and recommended making market entry decisions based on it. Let’s take a look at the 5-minute chart and analyze what happened. The pair did experience a decline, but due to low market volatility and trade volume, it never led to a false breakout. For this reason, I did not identify any market entry signals. The technical picture remained unchanged for the second half of the day.
To open long positions on EUR/USD, the following is required:
Considering that nothing during today’s American session would push the pair beyond the sideways channel, I have decided not to reconsider the nearest support and resistance levels. I also expect low volatility and trade volume, making relying on strong market signals difficult. A decline and a false breakout at 1.0714 will confirm an appropriate entry point for long positions, with a recovery target towards 1.0743. A breakout and top-down testing of this range will strengthen demand for the euro, allowing a surge to 1.0772. The furthest target will be around 1.0798, where I would take profits. In the event of a decline in EUR/USD and a lack of activity at 1.0714 – the midpoint of the sideways channel, bears could regain control of the market. In this case, only a false breakout around 1.0689 will signal a euro purchase. I would open long positions from 1.0665 with a target of a 30-35 point upward correction within the day.
To open short positions on EUR/USD, the following is required:
Sellers attempted but still needed to reach the nearest support level. In the second half of the day, we will have to defend 1.0743. A false breakout at this level would signal a sale, paving the way for support at 1.0714. After breaking below and consolidating below this range, as well as a bottom-up retest, I expect to receive another signal targeting 1.0689, where I anticipate the presence of larger buyers. The furthest target will be around 1.0665 – a new monthly low, where I would take profits. In the event of an upward movement in EUR/USD during the American session and a lack of bearish activity at 1.0743, bulls will have a chance to build an upward correction against the bearish market at the beginning of the week. In this scenario, I would postpone short positions until the new resistance at 1.0772. Selling would also be an option there, but only after a failed consolidation. I would open short positions at 1.0798 with a 30-35 point downward correction target.
The COT (Commitment of Traders) report for August 29th showed a reduction in long positions and an increase in short positions. Such market changes reflect hawkish comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Recently released data on US personal spending and the labor market convinced investors that the Fed will need to raise interest rates again, which has kept the US dollar attractive. Paradoxically, the decline in the euro is quite an interesting development, and buying risk assets on declines remains the optimal medium-term strategy in the current conditions. The COT report indicates that non-commercial long positions decreased by 8,849 to 230,542, while non-commercial short positions increased by 3,232 to 83,863. As a result, the spread between long and short positions increased by 4,753. The closing price decreased to 1.0882 from 1.0866, indicating a bearish market.
