25.03.202416:22 Forex Analysis & Reviews: EUR/USD: trading plan for the US session on March 25th (analysis of morning deals)

In my morning forecast, I highlighted the level of 1.0800 and planned to base market entry decisions on it. Let's look at the 5-minute chart and analyze what happened there. There was a decline, but I never witnessed the formation of a false breakout. As a result, suitable entry points into the market were not formed. The technical picture was reviewed for the second half of the day.

To open long positions on EUR/USD, the following is required:

Ahead of us, we have quite interesting data regarding home sales volume in the primary market, and members of the FOMC, Raphael Bostic and Lisa D. Cook, are speaking. Their message about interest rate cuts will have quite a vivid tone, and if so, the pressure on the dollar may increase even more. With strong statistics and a firm stance from the Fed representatives, it is best to act on the decline after forming a false breakout around the support area of 1.0803. Only this option for purchases will be suitable, counting on a correction towards 1.0934 – resistance, where moving averages are located, favoring sellers. Breaking and updating this range from top to bottom will strengthen the pair, with a chance of a surge to 1.0867. The ultimate target will be a maximum of 1.0903, where I will take a profit. In the scenario of a decline in EUR/USD in the second half of the day and a lack of activity around 1.0803, pressure on the euro will only intensify, leading to further decline with the prospect of updating 1.0763. I plan to enter the market there only after the formation of a false breakout. I will consider opening long positions immediately on the rebound from 1.0735 with a target of a 30-35 point upward correction within the day.

To open short positions on EUR/USD, the following is required:

Sellers have remained, and despite the slight rise in the pair, there is no reason for panic yet. The focus is now on protecting the nearest resistance at 1.0834, where the formation of a false breakout will prove the presence of large sellers in the market and provide a good entry point into short positions with the prospect of updating the new support at 1.0803. Breaking and consolidating below this range and a reverse test from bottom to top will provide another selling point with a collapse of the pair towards 1.0763, where buyers will become more active. The ultimate target will be a minimum of 1.0735, where I will take a profit. In the scenario of an upward movement of EUR/USD in the second half of the day, as well as the absence of bears at 1.0834, buyers will have a chance to rise. In this case, I will postpone selling until testing the next resistance at 1.0867. I will also sell there, but only after an unsuccessful consolidation. I plan to open short positions immediately on the rebound from 1.0903 with a 30-35 point downward correction target.

In the COT report (Commitment of Traders) for March 12, there was a reduction in both long and short positions. The results of the European Central Bank meeting continued to put pressure on risky assets, as traders did not receive any specifics. The released inflation data in the USA convinced market participants that it is still too early to think about interest rate cuts by the Fed. For this reason, I am betting on further development of the bullish trend for the US dollar and a decline in the euro. The COT report indicates that non-commercial long positions fell by 6,027 to 193,998, while non-commercial short positions decreased by 14,123 to 119,591. As a result, the spread between long and short positions increased by 16,555.
