16.09.202512:48 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Level and Target Adjustments for the U.S. Session – September 16th

The euro and the pound continued their active rise today, making the Momentum strategy work very well. I did not trade using the Mean Reversion strategy.

A sharp increase in euro area business sentiment led to another strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar, followed by gains in the British pound. Investors welcomed the data, which indicated a recovery in industrial production and the services sector, easing fears of a possible recession in the region. Confidence in the European economy is also supported by other factors. In particular, inflation is slowing, albeit at a slower pace than previously expected. The European Central Bank continues to maintain a loose monetary policy, supporting the euro's attractiveness for investors in the long term.

In the second half of the day, the dollar may come under more significant pressure, as weak U.S. data is expected. Falling retail sales typically signal weakening consumer demand, which in turn negatively affects company profitability and overall economic outlook. Declines in industrial and manufacturing output indicate shrinking demand for goods and services, which could lead to reduced investment and job losses. In this context, the Federal Reserve will face the need to reassess its monetary policy as early as tomorrow. If the data confirms an economic slowdown, the likelihood of further rate cuts this year after tomorrow's meeting will increase significantly.

In the case of strong data, I will rely on implementing the Momentum strategy. If the market does not react to the releases, I will continue using the Mean Reversion strategy.

• Buying on a breakout above 1.1828 may push the euro toward 1.1866 and 1.1903.
