FX.co ★ Trading plan for starters of EUR/USD and GBP/USD on October 12, 2021

Here are the details of the economic calendar for October 11:

Monday was traditionally accompanied by an absolutely empty macroeconomic calendar. Traders mostly did not show activity, as a result of which the quote conditionally stood in one place.

Analysis of trading charts from October 11:

The EUR/USD pair slowed down the correctional movement in the area of 1.1586, where there was a reduction in the volume of long positions and a rebound in prices. In this situation, the main role is played by the downward trend cycle from the beginning of June, which most traders are focused on.

Therefore, the corrective move is only part of the structure of the downward trend, where the level of 1.1529 serves as a variable point.

The GBP/USD pair is considering the area of 1.3620/1.3650 as resistance for the second week in a row, where the volume of long positions is systematically reduced. This leads to a slowdown in the correction and a reverse course.

October 12 economic calendar:

This morning, the UK already released its labor market data, where the indicators were not bad at all. Although the unemployment rate coincided with the forecast, it is still decreasing from 4.6% to 4.5%. At the same time, employment in the country increased by 235 thousand against 183 thousand in the previous reporting period.

The pound sterling literally ignored the statistics as if they never existed.

During the US trading session, America's data on open vacancies will be published. The number of which may decrease by 134 thousand, but will have little effect since there is nothing surprising in the reduction in the number of open vacancies after the decline in the unemployment rate.
