02.03.202612:15 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Level and Target Adjustments for the U.S. Session –– March 2nd

The euro and the British pound performed very well today using the Momentum strategy. I did not trade using Mean Reversion, as I was expecting strong movements.

The euro plunged following reports that Germany is seriously considering the possibility of joining a military operation against Iran, just as the British pound did after news that the United Kingdom is supporting the United States in attacks in the Middle East.

The consequences of such a step by Germany, the largest economy in the Eurozone, could be highly unpredictable. On the one hand, this may indicate a consolidation of the West's position regarding Iran's nuclear program and regional policy. On the other hand, direct military involvement in a conflict of this scale carries serious geopolitical risks, including the potential expansion of instability and possible retaliatory measures from Iran. European political circles are refraining from official comments for now, which only increases uncertainty. Official statements are expected soon and should clarify the true intentions of the German government and the potential consequences for European security.

In the second half of the day, traders may focus on the U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index data. This indicator is one of the key measures of the U.S. economy, as it reflects activity in the manufacturing sector, which in turn has a significant impact on overall economic growth. The ISM report includes assessments of indicators such as new orders, production volumes, employment, and prices, making it highly informative for analysts and investors. However, given the current developments in the world, the release of the ISM Manufacturing Index is not expected to trigger increased volatility in the financial markets.

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