In this situation, the euro exchange rate is overbought in intraday and short-term periods. This signal was caused by an intense upward move. Therefore, a price pullback may occur, with a partial recovery of dollar positions towards the level of 1.0800. As for the subsequent upward cycle, it is considered inertial, where speculators will ignore technical signals of overbought euro. In this case, maintaining the price above the level of 1.0900 may indicate a subsequent rise in the volume of long positions.
