Here are the details of the economic calendar for October 15:
The retail sales data in the United States was released last Friday, whose growth rate slowed down from 15.4% to 13.95%. This is not the best factor. A detailed review of statistics shows that the previous data was revised in favor of growth from 15.1% to 15.4%, and the forecast for the current recession was several times worse than 9%. As a result, expectations diverged, and the US dollar received local support.
* The volume of retail sales is one of the main economic indicators, which is an indicator of the change in sales volume in the context of retail trade. In simple words, this indicator reflects the purchasing power of the population.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on October 15:
During the start of the European session, the lower border of the side channel 1.1580/1.1624 was locally broken, but as a result, the quote returned to its original position. It can be assumed that there is a process of accumulation of trade forces, which will lead to a natural acceleration in the market. In this situation, the best trading tactic is to keep the price outside the control values. Buy positions should be considered after holding the price above the level of 1.1640. Sell positions should be considered after holding the price below the level of 1.1565.
Trading plan for GBP/USD on October 18:
It can be assumed that the price area of 1.3640/1.3650 still serves as a resistance in the market, otherwise, there would be no current stagnation towards correction. Thus, it is worth considering the possibility of ending the correction if the price holds below the level of 1.3700. If expectations coincide, the pound may gradually weaken in the market. This will lead to a price decline towards the low of October 15. After that, traders will focus on the next step from the level of 1.3650 towards 1.3610 -1.3570.
