Today, the British pound, Australian dollar, and Canadian dollar were traded using the Mean Reversion strategy. I did not trade any instruments using the Momentum strategy.

The absence of economic data from the eurozone and the United Kingdom allowed buyers of the euro and pound to recover some of their positions. A significant amount of US data is still ahead. US first-quarter GDP figures and initial jobless claims are important indicators capable of moving the market out of its current stagnation. However, even more attention will be focused on the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, along with changes in US personal income and spending.

This flow of information will inevitably act as a catalyst for increased volatility, providing traders with updated data for assessing the real condition of the world's largest economy. The core PCE index is traditionally viewed by policymakers as the most reliable and accurate indicator of inflationary pressure. Traders will also closely analyze income and spending dynamics in an attempt to assess the resilience of consumer demand. Whether consumers can continue supporting economic growth amid rising inflation and tight lending conditions remains an open question.

In the event of strong economic data, I will rely on the implementation of the Momentum strategy. If the market shows little reaction to the data, I will continue using the Mean Reversion strategy.
