Details of the economic calendar on February 3

Friday's main event was the United States Department of Labor report, which caused a strong reaction in the financial markets.

Report details:

- Unemployment fell to 3.4% from 3.5%, with a forecast increase to 3.6%.

- Change in the number of people employed in the non-agricultural sector (January) +550,000, with a forecast of +185,000. We have indicators above December.

- Average hourly wages fell to 4.4% YoY from December's 4.9%.

The statistics turned out to be better than all forecasts. A strong January jobs report indicates that the U.S. economy can handle further interest rate hikes. As a result, the U.S. dollar strengthened in the financial markets.

Analysis of trading charts from February 3

The EURUSD currency pair accelerated its decline due to the strong information and news background. As a result, the quote not only reached the level of 1.0800, it managed to stay below it in a four-hour period. This price move at least indicates a slowdown in the upward trend.

The GBPUSD currency pair, during the inertial downward movement, came close to the 1.2000 psychological level. In view of the fact that the market has a status of oversold pound sterling, as well as the convergence of the price with the control level, there was a reduction in the volume of short positions. This slowed down the inertial movement.

EUR/USD trading plan for February 6

In order to consolidate the sellers' positions on the euro, the quote needs to hold below the value of 1.0750. In this case a subsequent decline in the euro rate in the direction of 1.0650–1.0500 is possible.

As for the reversal, it is also considered by the traders in the scenario of the price rebound from the level of 1.0800. In this case the technical signal of an oversold euro, caused by the inertial move, is taken into account.

The absence of a breakdown of the psychological level will lead at least to stagnation. Ideally, the 1.2000 level will play the role of support, in this case, a pullback in the direction of 1.2150 is possible.

As for the prolongation of the downside scenario, it will be considered by traders if the price remains below 1.1950, preferably in the daily period.
