EUR/USD: Trading Plan for the U.S. session on September 6 (Review of morning trades). The euro has been put on pause

In my morning forecast, I highlighted the 1.1104 level and planned to make trading decisions based on it. Let's look at the 5-minute chart and analyze what happened. The price fell to the 1.1104 level, but no entry points were formed, so I didn't make any trades. The technical picture hasn't been revised for the second half of the day.

To open long positions on EUR/USD:

Everyone is waiting for U.S. statistics, so let's focus on them. If the unemployment rate rises and the number of non-farm jobs in the U.S. increases by 150,000 or less, pressure on the dollar is likely to increase, leading to a sharp strengthening of the euro as the upward trend continues. This scenario would increase the chances of the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 0.5%. The speeches of FOMC members John Williams and Christopher Waller would play an important role in this scenario. If the U.S. unemployment rate decreases, the dollar will likely strengthen, and the EUR/USD pair will return to the weekly low area. In that case, I will consider buying only around the new support level of 1.1078, which formed following yesterday's session. A false breakout at the 1.1078 level would provide an entry point for long positions, aiming to retest the 1.1104 level, where the pair is currently trading. A breakout and update from above to below this range would lead to further growth for the pair, with a chance to test the 1.1138 level. The final target would be the 1.1171 high, where I will take profits. In the case of a decline in EUR/USD and low activity around 1.1078 in the second half of the day, sellers will regain control, leading to a larger correction for the pair. In that case, I will enter only after forming a false breakout around the next support at 1.1042. I plan to open long positions immediately on a rebound from 1.1012, targeting a 30–35 point upward correction within the day.

To open short positions on EUR/USD:

Sellers are currently staying on the sidelines, and this approach will likely continue until the statistics are released. If the reaction to the data is positive, only a false breakout around 1.1138 would provide a suitable condition for opening short positions, with the goal of retesting the new support at 1.1104. A breakout and consolidation below this range, followed by a reverse test from below, will offer another opportunity to sell, targeting the 1.1078 level. The final target will be 1.1042, where I will take profits. If EUR/USD rises and bears are absent at 1.1138, buyers will strengthen their advantage. This will provide a chance to test the 1.1171 resistance. I will also sell there, but only after a failed consolidation. I plan to open short positions immediately on a rebound from 1.1199, targeting a 30–35 point downward correction.

The COT report (Commitment of Traders) for August 27 showed a rise in long positions and a significant reduction in short positions. This indicates a continued bullish sentiment among buyers of risky assets, which intensified after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at Jackson Hole, clearly signaling that US rates will be cut in September. The current report reflects the market's full reaction to these statements. The dollar's future direction will largely depend on labor market and inflation data, so I recommend paying close attention to these indicators. The COT report shows that long non-commercial positions increased by 24,031 to 218,381, while short non-commercial positions fell by 12,790 to 125,543. As a result, the gap between long and short positions increased by 2,961.
