06.08.202517:57 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Adjustment of Levels and Targets for the U.S. Session on August 6th

Only the British pound was traded today using the Mean Reversion strategy. There were no setups for Momentum trading due to low volatility in the currency market.

The euro showed resilience despite negative economic signals from Germany and the eurozone as a whole. The published data indicated a decline in industrial orders in Germany—a worrying sign for Europe's largest economy and a key driver of European industry.

At the same time, retail sales in the eurozone also fell short of expectations, signaling subdued consumer demand and potential risks for economic growth. Nevertheless, the euro managed to avoid a significant drop. This may be due to several factors. First, investors may have already priced in this negative data. Second, other macroeconomic indicators—such as employment or inflation—may have had a supportive effect.

With no macroeconomic releases scheduled from the U.S. today, market participants' attention is naturally shifting to speeches by senior Federal Reserve officials. The tone and content of remarks by FOMC members Susan M. Collins, Lisa D. Cook, and Mary Daly will serve as key indicators of the Fed's future monetary policy. Investors will carefully analyze their comments for clues on the timing and scale of future interest rate cuts. Special attention will be paid to assessments of the current state of the U.S. economy—especially after the recent labor market data.

In case of strong statistics, I will rely on the Momentum strategy. If there is no market reaction to the data, I will continue using the Mean Reversion strategy.
