EUR / USD

After several days of correction to the increase in attempted recovery of the upward trend. The maximum was updated, but it is too early to talk about the result, it should be formed. A secure anchorage above will allow you to hope for the continuation of the rise. In this case, the interests of the players to increase will be directed to the passage of the monthly cloud, since, having closed July in the Ichimoku cloud, the bulls made its upper border (1.2167) as the next reference point. 1.1813 - 1.1695 (worked out weekly target + monthly Senkou Span A + daily Tenkan) still serves as the support zone, which retains the advantages of the upside traders.

All analyzed technical instruments in the lower halves are currently supporting players to raise. The pair renewed the previous maximum extremum (1.1909) and tested the first resistance of the classic pivot levels (1.1914). If it consolidates above and continues the rise, the reference points within the day will be R2 (1.1966) and R3 (1.2026). The key supports today are located at 1.1854 (central pivot level) and 1.1808 (weekly long-term trend). A decline under support can change the current balance of power and turn an attempt to restore an upward trend into failure.
