Forex Strategies for Beginner Traders – September 4 2026

The pound once again responded very well to the Mean Reversion strategy today. I traded the Japanese yen using Momentum. According to the data, eurozone retail sales fell by 0.6% in July after increasing by 0.2% in June, while the decline across the EU was 0.4%, with annual growth almost disappearing, falling to a symbolic 0.6%. Let me remind you that retail sales reflect consumer demand, and such a sharp decline indicates a noticeable cooling in demand.

GOLD: SELL 4455.00, SL 4505.00, TP 4335.00
