The Bank of England, during its planned meeting on Thursday, concluded a series of 14 consecutive interest rate hikes that began in December 2021 in an attempt to curb inflation. The base rate was raised to 5.25% in August, marking the highest level in the last 15 years. In a press release, the Bank of England stated that signs of the impact of tightening monetary policy on the labor market and the overall economy are beginning to emerge. It also pledged to monitor inflationary pressures and economic stability.
Analysis of Trading Charts from September 21During the pullback, the EUR/USD currency pair returned to the previously established area of trading force interaction at 1.0650/1.0680. This price change does not disrupt the integrity of the downward cycle.
The GBP/USD pair, following the Bank of England meeting, locally declined below the value of 1.2250. However, there was almost immediately a rebound due to the high level of oversold British currency.
Today's macroeconomic calendar is packed with statistical data, including the publication of business activity indices in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Considering that these data are preliminary estimates, they may trigger speculative movements in financial markets.
EUR/USD Trading Plan for September 22For a subsequent increase in short positions in the euro, it is necessary to consistently maintain the price below the value of 1.0600. In this case, the path towards the subsequent control level of 1.0500 may open. However, the technical signal of euro oversold status persists in the market despite the ongoing pullback. Therefore, there is a possibility of further pullback if the price stays above 1.0680.
The oversold status still holds, which is why the possibility of the price returning to the level of 1.2350 during a pullback cannot be ruled out. However, if speculators ignore the oversold status and the quote manages to establish itself below the value of 1.2250, there may be a subsequent increase in short positions.
