EUR/USD and GBP/USD: trading plan for beginners on July 19, 2024

Details of economic calendar on July 18

On Thursday, all investors' attention was focused on the meeting of the European Central Bank at which the regulator, as expected, kept key interest rates at the same level. This decision coincided with the expectations of analysts and market participants. The ECB press release noted that most economic indicators were either stable or declined in June. The ECB also underscored that the financing conditions remain restrictive. At the same time, inflation in the euro area remains high, service inflation is likely to persist in the medium term. Headline inflation is expected to be above the ECB 2% target both this year and next.

Horizontal levels are price coordinates relative to which a price may stop or revered its trajectory. In the market, these levels are called support and resistance.

Circles and rectangles are highlighted examples where the price developed. This color highlighting indicates horizontal lines that may put pressure on the price in the future.

Up/down arrows are guidelines for a possible future trajectory.
