EUR/USD and GBP/USD: Trading plan for beginners on June 23, 2023

Details of the economic calendar on June 22

All market participants' attention was on the Bank of England meeting outcome. The regulator decided to raise the key rate by 50 basis points to 5%, which exceeded the expectations of analytical agencies that had predicted a 25 basis point increase. This rate level is the highest in the last 15 years. Seven out of nine members of the Monetary Policy Committee voted for the rate hike, while two advocated keeping it at the same level, as indicated in the meeting's statement.

EUR/USD trading plan for June 23

Despite a sufficiently intense downward trend in the market, the upward trend is still intact. A possible return of the price to the area around the level of 1.1000 may lead to its breakout and subsequent growth. Within the downward pullback scenario, the level of 1.0900 is currently considered as the low point.

In this situation, prolonged holding of the price below the level of 1.2700 may lead to further depreciation of the British pound. As long as the price is held at this level, a scenario of slowdown or even a price rebound is possible. The level of 1.2700 serves as an important support, which traders consider in the context of further developments in the market.

What's on the charts

The candlestick chart type is white and black graphic rectangles with lines above and below. With a detailed analysis of each individual candle, you can see its characteristics relative to a particular time frame: opening price, closing price, intraday high and low.

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

Circles and rectangles are highlighted examples where the price reversed in history. This color highlighting indicates horizontal lines that may put pressure on the asset's price in the future.

The up/down arrows are landmarks of the possible price direction in the future.
