EUR/USD: Trading plan for European session on October 8, 2021. Commitment of Traders report. Nonfarm Payrolls may boost USD

Long positions in EUR/USD:

Yesterday, the pair was trading in a narrow sideways channel, ignoring almost all the macroeconomic statistics in the eurozone and the US. On the M5 chart, a false breakout and consolidation above 1.1565 gave a sell signal. Bears tried to push the price down several times. However, all their attempts were unsuccessful. In the second half of the day, a buy signal from the level of 1.1565 was generated. It did not cause a significant fall in price. In terms of technical analysis, nothing has changed. Today, the market will focus solely on the NFP report.

In the first half of the day, ECB President Christine Lagarde's speech will draw traders' attention. It may well exert pressure on the euro. Nevertheless, the key event of the day will be the release of the NFP report in the US. The future of the Fed's monetary policy depends on it. So, the data will be of key interest to market participants. In terms of technical analysis, nothing has changed. The trading strategy also remains the same. Bulls will try to protect the support level of 1.1542 during the European session. The pair may well plunge to this mark when Christine Lagarde speaks during a press conference. Only a false breakout may give a buy signal. In such a case, the quote is likely to recover to the resistance level of 1.1570. Today, a lot will depend on a breakout at this barrier. If bulls consolidate above this range, only a test of this level top/bottom will make a buy signal with a target at the high of 1.1595. Another target is seen at 1.1618, where it is wise to lock in profits. Alternatively, if there is no bullish activity at 1.1542 - the euro is highly likely to be under pressure before the release of Nonfarm Payrolls - it will be wise to open long positions only when the quote reaches the weekly low of 1.1510. You should consider buying the pair on a bounce near 1.1482 and 1.1454 support levels, allowing 15-20 pips intraday bullish correction.

Short positions in EUR/USD:

Bears continue to control the market and are aiming for new monthly lows. Their main task today remains to protect the resistance level of 1.1570. All bulls' attempts to consolidate above this barrier yesterday failed. Only a false breakout at this level in the first half of the day will resume pressure on the pair and push it to the intermediate support level of 1.1542. In case of a breakout and a test of this level bottom/top, as well as strong NFP results, a new short entry point will form with targets at 1.1510 and 1.1482, where it is wise to lock in profits. A further target is seen at the low of 1.1454 but the quote is likely to go to this mark only in the worst-case scenario related to political issues in the US. If there is no bearish activity at 1.1570, it will be wise to open short positions only when the quote tests the resistance level of 1.1595 or on a bounce, allowing a 15-20 pips bearish correction from the low of 1.1618.

Commitment of Traders report:

The COT report as of September 28 logged a sharp increase in both short and long positions. At the same time, market participants opened more short positions than long ones, which, in turn, led to a decrease in the net position. Demand for the US dollar and pressure on risk assets were high during the previous week because the United States was currently going through tough times. The possibility of tapering by the Federal Reserve in November allows traders to raise the number of long positions in USD. Many investors expect the regulator to start reducing bond purchases by the end of this year. The Nonfarm Payrolls report is likely to throw light on the central bank's future actions. A lot now depends on the labor market performance. Demand for risk assets is expected to be limited due to the likelihood of another coronavirus wave and the spread of its Delta variant. In the previous week, the ECB's president spoke a lot about the regulator's intention to maintain the economic stimulus program at current levels. However, mounting inflationary pressure in Q4 2021 may ruin the regulator's plans. Based on the COT report, the number of long non-commercial positions increased to 195,043 from 189,406, while short non-commercial positions spiked to 194,171 versus 177,311. At the end of the week, the total non-commercial net position tumbled to 872 from 12,095. The weekly closing price also dropped to 1.1695 from 1.1726.
