27.05.202612:35 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Level and Target Adjustments for the U.S. Session – May 27th

Today, only the euro produced a valid setup through the Mean Reversion strategy, but even there, a proper reversal movement ultimately failed to materialize. I did not open any trades using the Momentum strategy.

The euro, the pound, and other risk-sensitive assets are trading relatively cautiously against the dollar, as there are currently no real catalysts for sharp market movements. The euro completely ignored today's ECB report and demonstrated remarkable stability, although the European regulator's conclusions regarding financial stability in May 2026 leave much to be desired. Apparently, the market has already absorbed and priced in the majority of the negative information contained in the report. The key message voiced by ECB officials is that risks to the eurozone's financial stability remain elevated. This did not come as a surprise to market participants, but rather confirmed the existing and fairly pessimistic assessment of the current situation.

Upcoming economic releases are expected to become the key reference points for financial markets during the second half of the day. Traders will pay particular attention to the release of the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index, which serves as an important gauge of business activity in one of the key industrial regions of the United States. The report is expected to provide an updated assessment of the manufacturing sector, its trends, and its outlook.

Alongside the manufacturing activity indicator, markets will closely monitor speeches by influential Federal Open Market Committee members Lorie K. Logan and Lisa D. Cook. The tone and key messages delivered by these officials may serve as an indicator of the Committee's current stance regarding future monetary policy. In particular, emphasis on inflation risks or, conversely, on the need to support economic growth could shape market expectations.

In the event of strong economic data, I will rely on the Momentum strategy. If the market shows no reaction to the releases, I will continue using the Mean Reversion strategy.

• Buying on a breakout above 1.1659 may lead to euro growth toward 1.1678 and 1.1698;
