Trading recommendations for starters on GBP/USD and EUR/USD for January 14, 2021

The US dollar received local support from traders during the previous day. As a result, it strengthened against its competitors.

In terms of statistics, Europe reported on the volume of industrial production, whose rate of decline slowed down from -3.5% to -0.6%, which is significantly better than the expected -3.2%. However, there was no reaction to the positive statistics from the market, although investors are glad that the industrial production is recovering.

This was followed by the US inflation data which was published in the afternoon. It was expected to accelerate from 1.2% to 1.3%, but the result was even better – 1.4%, positively affecting the US dollar.

What happened on the trading chart?

The EUR/USD pair returned to the path of correction stage after a short growth, returning market participants to the base level of 1.2130. A support level was found in this area during the start of the week.

The total volume of the decline was just over 70 points.

The GBP/USD pair showed a calm attitude, despite the fact that there was a rapid increase a day earlier, which returned us to the area of the local high of the mid-term upward trend.

The British currency slowed down and then followed by a pullback of 80 points, albeit having a high level of overbought status.
