On Monday, the EUR/USD currency pair exhibited a sharp and strong rise. The euro began to strengthen almost immediately after the market opened, marking the start of both the day and the week. This movement suggests that the dollar's decline was not tied to any specific economic factors. The only notable event scheduled for the day was Donald Trump's inauguration, which took place without any incidents. The dollar's decline can be naturally associated with this event. Although Trump made several important statements, it is important to note that the dollar's drop began well before his speech or the inauguration itself. This behavior reflects unpredictable market emotions. We believe that such erratic movements should be avoided. Even though several solid trading signals emerged yesterday, trading during high-profile events typically involves erratic price movements, sudden reversals, and heightened volatility.
In the 5-minute timeframe on Monday, a wealth of strong signals was created. Overnight, the price bounced off the 1.0269-1.0277 range and then steadily increased for half the day, reaching the 1.0433 level during the U.S. session. This signal could have been acted upon overnight or by "chasing the train" during the European session. Traders experienced excellent opportunities to open positions and profit from subsequent rebounds at the 1.0433 level, another bounce at 1.0359, two additional rebounds from 1.0433, and yet another from 1.0359.
On the hourly timeframe, the EUR/USD pair is continuing its downward trend. We believe the euro's decline is poised to persist in the medium term, with parity not far off. As previously noted, further declines of the euro are expected, as the fundamental and macroeconomic conditions continue to favor the U.S. dollar. Currently, a correction is in progress, supported by a trendline. A break below this trendline will indicate the end of the correction.
Movements on Tuesday may be much weaker than on Monday, and the dollar could start regaining its losses. However, we now have a trendline to guide us.
On the 5-minute timeframe, consider the following levels: 1.0156, 1.0221, 1.0269-1.0277, 1.0334-1.0359, 1.0433-1.0451, 1.0526, 1.0596, 1.0678, 1.0726-1.0733, 1.0797-1.0804, and 1.0845-1.0851. On Tuesday, ZEW indices are scheduled for release in the Eurozone, while the U.S. economic calendar is empty. As a result, volatility may decrease significantly, with the dollar leaning toward growth.
