EUR/USD
Yesterday's market panic had almost subsided by this morning. Monday did not turn out to be a "black" day. The S&P 500 plummeted by 4.71%, closing at -3.00%. Good ISM figures supported the market: business activity in the non-manufacturing sector strengthened from 49.6 to 54.5 in July, and the employment index rose from 46.1 to 51.1 against an expectation of 46.4. However, the cunning euro buyers we mentioned in our last review chose a bad moment for their action. Market participants did not believe in their notions of a fourfold rate cut by the end of the year, specifically a double decrease of 0.5% each. We saw a similar pattern last November when investors anticipated a sixfold rate cut for the current year, but then the euro fell by 4.5 figures.
After reaching the target level of 1.1010, the price is now ready to form a divergence with the Marlin oscillator on the daily chart. If the pair closes the day below the July 17th peak of 1.0949, the likelihood of the price returning to 1.0905 and attempting to consolidate below this level will significantly increase.
The target level of 1.1018, which we highlighted on the weekly chart, no longer needs to be met with absolute precision unless it is to continue the rise above 1.12.
The price is consolidating below the resistance at 1.0964 in the 4-hour chart. Marlin is striving to exit the overbought zone. If the price consolidates below the level of 1.0905 in this time frame, it will also mean settling below the MACD line on the weekly chart. We're waiting for the market to cool down and form more stable signs of reversal and decline.
