EUR/USD. November 14th. American inflation could wake the market up

The EUR/USD pair continued a weak upward movement towards the level of 1.0714 on Monday. Despite this level being only 25 points above the day's opening level, it still needs to be reached. Today, a rebound from this level will work in favor of the American currency and resume the decline toward the corrective level of 23.6% (1.0644). Consolidating the pair's rate above 1.0714 increases the probability of further growth towards the next Fibonacci level of 38.2%–1.0765.

The wave situation remains ambiguous. The recent downward wave did not break the low of the previous wave, and the recent upward wave did not break the peak of the previous wave. Thus, concluding the dominance of bulls or bears is currently impossible. For over a month, we have observed a movement often called horizontal. Short-term trends consisting of 1–3 waves are formed occasionally, but they do not change the essence of the movement. On higher timeframes, it is seen that the movement is almost horizontal.

This week's news background will not be the strongest, but on Tuesday, several reports could slightly stir the market, which has been dormant for a week. The ZEW Economic Sentiment Index has little chance of doing this, but American inflation is much more interesting. Traders expect it to slow down to 3.3%, which will convince the FOMC of the correctness of the chosen path and further reduce the market's confidence in a new tightening of monetary policy. If inflation for October drops below 3.5%, the dollar may come under pressure. However, inflation is less important for traders now, as the Fed needs to send strong signals about being ready to raise interest rates even more. This report has a good chance of causing a market movement, but it may need to be revised.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair reversed in favor of the European currency, and a new consolidation occurred above the corrective level of 100.0% (1.0639). A new "bearish" divergence of the CCI indicator favored the US currency, allowing the decline to continue towards 1.0639. Closing the pair's rate below this level will allow us to expect further decline towards the next Fibonacci level of 127.2%–1.0466. No new imminent divergences are observed at this time.

Commitments of Traders (COT) report:

In the last reporting week, speculators opened 1649 long contracts and closed 2018 short contracts. The sentiment of major traders remains "bullish" but has noticeably weakened in recent weeks and months. The total number of long contracts speculators hold is 212 thousand, and short contracts are 123 thousand. The difference is already less than double, although a few months ago, the gap was threefold. The situation will continue to change in favor of bears. Bulls have dominated the market for too long, and now they need strong news to start a new "bullish" trend. Such a background currently needs to be present. Professional traders may continue to close long positions soon. The current figures allow for continuing the euro's decline in the coming months.

News Calendar for the US and the European Union:

European Union – ZEW Economic Sentiment Index in Germany (10:00 UTC).

European Union – GDP in the third quarter (10:00 UTC).

US – Consumer Price Index (CPI) (13:30 UTC).

On November 14, the economic events calendar contains at least two important entries. The impact of the news background on traders' sentiment on Tuesday may be of moderate strength.

EUR/USD Forecast and Trader Tips:

I do not recommend considering purchasing the pair at this time. There are no signals to buy now, and the movement is horizontal. I advised selling on consolidation below the level of 1.0714, with a target of 1.0644 and below. These trades can be kept open. It is also possible to sell on new rebounds from the level of 1.0714 with the same target.
