The EUR/USD currency pair continued trading within a horizontal channel on Thursday, a pattern that has become visible. As anticipated, the price has remained between 1.0451 and 1.0596 for two weeks, with the correction proving weak and slow. Despite this week's robust macroeconomic and fundamental backdrop, the pair has not managed to break out of its range.
Plenty of news and reports have been released this week, and while market volatility hasn't been exceptionally low—markets have responded to events—the pair remains in a pure flat trend. This type of movement is always a challenge for traders. Currently, the price is near the upper boundary of the range, making it reasonable to expect a bounce and a new downward move. However, today's key reports on U.S. labor and unemployment markets could spark significant market reactions, and it's unclear whether this will favor the U.S. dollar.
On the 5-minute time frame Thursday, only one trading signal was generated. Throughout the European session, the price traded near the 1.0526 level before eventually moving upward, almost reaching the target level at 1.0596, which acts as the upper boundary of the horizontal channel. This would have been an excellent point to close long positions and even consider opening short ones. As we approach the U.S. session today, if the price is within 20–30 pips of the 1.0596 level, a trade can be shifted to break even to reduce risk and await the release of U.S. reports.
The pair is still in a corrective phase on the hourly timeframe, but EUR/USD is likely to see only limited or slow upward movements. For two weeks, the price has remained within the 1.0451–1.0596 range, reflecting traders' hesitation to buy the euro even after a two-month decline.
On Friday, we believe the pair's downward movement could resume, mainly if the price bounces off the upper boundary of the horizontal channel. However, flat trends are inherently random, an important factor to consider.
On the 5-minute TF, we should consider the levels of 1.0269-1.0277, 1.0334-1.0359, 1.0433-1.0451, 1.0526, 1.0596, 1.0678, 1.0726-1.0733, 1.0797-1.0804, 1.0845-1.0851, 1.0888-1.0896. In the Eurozone, only the final Q3 GDP report is scheduled for release, and it is unlikely to influence the market unless the data significantly deviates from expectations. In the U.S., critical reports will be published, including Wages, Labor market data, Unemployment rate, and Consumer sentiment.
