Here are the details of the economic calendar from July 19:
The economic calendar was empty on Monday in terms of important statistics from the EU, Britain, and the US, which is considered normal for that day.
Analysis of trading charts from July 19:
The EUR/USD pair showed quite strong speculative interest. As a result, the quote locally declined to the area of 1.1765, but then returned to the level of 1.1800.
As we paid attention to the price behavior before the downward impulse, the quote was clamped within the narrow borders of 1.1795/1.1825 for 35 hours, which led to the effect of accumulation of trading forces.
After that, a logical end result appeared. One of the amplitude borders breaks through, and all the trading forces accumulated at the moment of stagnation go through it.
The trading recommendation on July 19 considered a possible surge in activity, indicating the trading method of breaking through a particular border of the established range of 1.1795/1.1825. In our case, the border of 1.1795 was broken, where the outgoing impulse led us to the predicted coordinate 1.1770.
The process of accumulation of trading forces is price fluctuations in a closed amplitude, where a local acceleration in the direction of the breakdown of a particular stagnation border often occurs.
The GBP/USD pair continued to decline in the market despite the local oversold status. As a result, the quote managed to fall to the base area of March-April 2021, namely the coordinates of 1.3670.
The downward potential for the pound sterling has been repeatedly highlighted by us as a based trading strategy.
The trading recommendation on July 19 considered the sellers' desire to further weaken the pound. Therefore, a sell order was placed below the level of 1.3730 in the direction of 1.3670.
