In my morning forecast, I focused on the 1.0844 level and planned to make market entry decisions based on it. Let's look at the 5-minute chart and analyze what happened there. The breakout and subsequent retest of 1.0844 provided a buying opportunity for the euro. However, as you can see on the chart, the bullish market did not develop as expected in the absence of significant statistics. The technical outlook for the second half of the day remains unchanged.
The most important event for the second half of the day will be the US Consumer Price Index data. It is particularly important to observe how the core Consumer Price Index, which excludes food and energy prices, changes. Weekly initial jobless claims and the speech by FOMC member Raphael Bostic will be secondary. If inflation rises, the market will turn on its head, leading to a drop in the euro and a strengthening of the dollar, which I plan to capitalize on. If the data indicates a decline in US inflation, the euro can develop the bullish market further. In case of a decline, I plan to act around the nearest support level at 1.0813, where the pair could quickly fall. This will provide a suitable entry point for long positions targeting a recovery to 1.0844, a highly contested level. A breakout and retest of this range from above will strengthen the pair with a chance to rise to the resistance at 1.0871. The ultimate target will be the 1.0899 high, where I will take profit. Testing this level will allow the bullish trend to continue. If EUR/USD declines and there is no activity around 1.0813 in the second half of the day, with the moving averages slightly above this level supporting the bulls, I will only enter after forming a false breakout at the next support at 1.0785. I plan to open long positions immediately on a bounce from the 1.0757 low, aiming for an intraday upward correction of 30-35 points.
Sellers are no longer trying to oppose buyers, relying entirely on US inflation data. Only this "lifeline" can lead to a substantial correction in the pair. If EUR/USD continues to rise, which is more likely since everything points to a decrease in US inflation, only a false breakout around the new resistance at 1.0871 will provide a suitable entry point for short positions, aiming for a fall to support at 1.0844, with the moving averages slightly below this level supporting the bulls. A breakout and consolidation below this range, followed by a retest from below, will pressure the euro again and offer another selling point, targeting the 1.0813 low, where I expect more active buying of the euro. The ultimate target will be the 1.0785 area, where I will take profit. If EUR/USD rises in the second half of the day and there are no bears at 1.0871, buyers will achieve further growth in the pair. In this case, I will postpone sales until testing the next resistance at 1.0899. I will also sell there, but only after an unsuccessful consolidation. I plan to open short positions immediately on a rebound from 1.0942, targeting a downward correction of 30-35 points.
In the COT report (Commitment of Traders) for July 2, both short and long positions decreased. The market needed a break, which participants took advantage of. Last week's absence of significant statistics supported the demand for risk assets, although this needs to be evident from the reports. Soon, we will have Jerome Powell's important speech, which will help determine the summer direction of the dollar, along with US inflation data for June, which can turn the market. Therefore, it is too early to write off the US dollar. The COT report showed that long non-commercial positions decreased by 3,001 to 164,369, while short non-commercial positions fell by 1,913 to 173,888. As a result, the spread between long and short positions increased by 1,902.Moving averages:
