Trading recommendations for the EUR/USD pair on September 25

Since the beginning of the trading week, the market has been ruled by a bearish sentiment, because of which the quote did not only decline below the lower border of the seven-week flat, but also consolidated below 1.1650.

As a result, there are theories that the medium-term trend is now changing from bullish to bearish, and such will lead to a further drop in the rate of the European currency.

So, if we look in the M15 chart, we will see that short positions dropped the quote to the level of 1.1626, after the consolidation below 1.1650.

Such signified a 25% deceleration relative to the average level, which suggests that an acceleration will soon occur, and it would signal a significant change in the trend.

In addition, as discussed in the previous review , traders used the downward consolidation as an impetus to strengthen short positions, as a result of which the quote depreciated to the now price level of EUR / USD - 1.1626.

Meanwhile, with regards to news, a rather bleak report on jobless claims was published, which suggests that recovery in the US labor market is rather slowing. According to the data, initial applications for unemployment benefits rose from 866,000 to 870,000, while repeated applications have decreased from 12,747,000 to 12,580,000.

Today, data on orders for US durable goods will be published, and the forecast for it is an increase of 1.5% in August.

Any news on the coronavirus or Brexit will put more pressure on the pound, hence, it is necessary to monitor upcoming reports.
