Details of economic calendar on January 26

The economic calendar lacked high-impact data on Friday.

Review of charts on January 26

EUR/USD reached the bottom of the correction cycle accompanied by pronounced speculative activity.

The GBP/USD pair had been trapped within the sideways channel between 1.2600 and 1.2800 for the seventh week in a row. There is periodic speculative activity, but special attention is paid to the middle level of the sideways channel at 1.2700.

Economic calendar on January 29

Traditionally, the new trading week begins with the empty economic calendar. This is common for Monday. Nevertheless, this week is going to be jam-packed with major events. Two central banks are holding policy meetings. As for macroeconomic data, the market will get to know inflation data for the EU and the US nonfarm payrolls for January.

The extension of the downward correction indicates the overall bearish interest among market participants. However, as before, the level of 1.0800 serves as an obstacle for the sellers, which, according to technical analysis, can put pressure on short positions. Thus, the downward cycle is limited to this level, which means some uncertainty in market sentiment. If the price settles below 1.0800 during the day, traders may add short positions.

The median level acts as an indicator of trading interest within the sideways channel. Price stabilization below this level may be followed by a movement towards the lower border of 1.2600. However, all price fluctuations so far fit within the current corridor, which, is still in the making according to technical analysis. A priority strategy among market participants is trading during a breakout of one of the borders of the sideways channel.
