Here are the details of the economic calendar for Sept 7:
The third estimate of Europe's GDP in the second quarter was published yesterday, where economic growth was recorded at 14.3% instead of the expected 13.6%. The indicators are strong, but they did not stop speculators, the European currency continued to decline despite the positive statistics. Let's pay attention to a number of important points – last Friday, the report of the US Department of Labor was published, which did not come out as well as the investor wanted. The situation in the US labor market is still not so bad.
Monday was a Labor Day holiday in the United States. It was impossible to win back the news about the decline in the unemployment rate in the United States due to the absence of the main player in the market – the United States. Tuesday opens with the strengthening of dollar positions, where the Euro currency stops the decline during the publication of GDP data for Europe. In fact, the GDP data was locally won back on the market, but the US dollar resumed strengthening already during the start of the US session.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on September 8:
The downward trend is still relevant in the market. The first degree in the form of a pivot point 1.1800 is on the sellers' path. In order to strengthen the downward cycle towards the 1.1660 base, market participants need to keep the quote below the level of 1.1800 for a four-hour period. Otherwise, the price may rebound from 1.1800, which will ultimately slow down the downward movement.
Trading plan for GBP/USD on September 8:
The price being kept below the level of 1.3800 will increase the interest in short positions for the pound. The subsequent increase in the volume of sell positions can be expected if the price is held below the level of 1.3730. In this case, the recovery move relative to the correction may move to the finish line, focusing on the local low of 1.3600.
To simply put it, the breakdown of 1.3730 will increase sellers' chances to further weaken the pound.
An alternative scenario for the development of the market will become relevant in the event of a price rebound from the area of 1.3730/1.3750. This can lead to a slowdown in the decline.
Short positions or Short means sell positions.
