Today, the euro, pound, and Canadian dollar were traded using the Momentum strategy, but no significant moves developed. I did not trade anything using the Mean Reversion strategy.

Later, calm in the currency market may only be disrupted by speeches from representatives of the Federal Reserve and the Trump administration, as the news backdrop is shaped by the absence of major statistical data. Ahead, we only have the release of the NAHB Housing Market Index in the US. This indicator, which reflects builders' sentiment, will remain the only quantitative reference point for traders trying to assess the outlook for future US economic growth.

Attention will also remain focused on the G7 summit taking place these days. Geopolitical rhetoric and diplomatic debates among G7 leaders will create conditions for volatility capable of outweighing any dry statistical reports. If the NAHB index confirms stability in the sector, it may provide only short-term support for the dollar, while any ambiguous signal from the G7 camp or sharp rhetoric regarding foreign policy could instantly reverse the market in the opposite direction.

In the event of strong data, I will rely on the Momentum strategy. If the market does not react to the data, I will continue using the Mean Reversion strategy.
