Intraday Strategies for Beginner Traders on June 17

Pressure on risky assets returned in the afternoon of the U.S. session. This occurred right after euro and pound buyers failed to push prices to new monthly highs despite strong eurozone and UK economic data.

Today, attention will shift to economic indicators from Germany and the eurozone, specifically those published by the ZEW Institute. If the data comes in optimistic, it could strengthen the euro. Traders will closely examine the Current Situation Index and the Economic Sentiment Index to assess growth prospects in the region. Positive results may signal an economic rebound and boost confidence in the euro. However, if ZEW data is weaker than expected, the euro could be pressured. Negative business sentiment may trigger recession concerns and dampen demand for the European currency.

The Bundesbank's monthly report will also be of importance. Analysts will look for signals regarding Germany's current economic condition and any hints at potential changes in monetary policy. Any suggestion of a pause in the rate-cutting cycle or concerns about inflation could influence the euro's exchange rate.

There are no important economic reports from the UK today, giving pound buyers a chance to initiate a new wave of growth. However, it's important to remember that a lack of news does not necessarily imply a continuation of prior movements. While the market may respond to yesterday's developments, overall sentiment, and technical factors, traders should remain cautious and account for the possibility of sudden swings. A stronger pound could be driven by dollar weakness, positive developments from other economies, or technical breakouts above key resistance levels.

If data matches economists' expectations, use a Mean Reversion strategy. Use a Momentum strategy if data significantly exceeds or falls short of expectations.
