Details of the economic calendar for September 14

Annual inflation in the UK fell to 9.9% in August, with forecast of growth to 10.6% from 10.1%. The change is small, but this is a positive factor because the Bank of England at the upcoming meeting may well indicate a slowdown in the rate of inflation, which will affect the revision of the rate of increase in the refinancing rate.

Euro area industrial production declined to -2.4% YoY in July from the previous month's growth of 2.2%. Forecasts assumed growth of 1.7%. This is a negative factor, but the euro has already been heavily oversold. For this reason, there was no proper reaction on the market.

US producer prices recorded a decline from 9.8% to 8.7%. The market almost did not react to these statistics.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on September 15

In this situation, there is a process of accumulation of trading forces, which, in principle, restrains the quote from a full-scale pullback. The optimal trading tactic is considered to be the method of the impulse coming from the range of 0.9955/1.0010.

We concretize the above:

The downward move will be relevant after the price holds below 0.9950. This step may lead to an update of the low of the downward trend.

An upward movement in the currency pair is considered in case of a stable holding of the price above the value of 1.0030 in a four-hour period.

In this situation, the signal for a subsequent decline will be the price holding below the 1.1480 mark in a four-hour period. This step is highly likely to lead to touching the 2020 low.

In your work, it is worth taking into account the factor of overheating of short positions in the pound sterling, where the recent pullback could not lead to a regrouping of trading forces. In this case, the lack of holding the price below 1.1480 may lead to a movement towards the values of 1.1588–1.1600.
