EUR/USD

The meeting with the weekly supports joined at 1.2103 (weekly Fibo Kijun + weekly short-term trend) led to the development of slow down. A breakout of this zone will allow us to consider new downward prospects. In this case, the nearest and significant pivot point will be the daily cloud, whose upper border is now strengthened by the weekly medium-term trend (1.2027). The center of attraction in the current conditions continues to be the daily Ichimoku cross (1.2184 - 1.2160 - 1.2133) and the historical level (1.2150).

The daily deceleration led to the development of the upward correction on the hourly chart. The bulls have caught the central pivot level (1.2115) and are rising now to test the weekly long-term trend (1.2154). A consolidation above the moving average and its reversal will change the current balance of forces in the smaller intervals, which will confirm the formation of a rebound in the bigger ones.

The further development of the situation will completely depend on the breakdown of the attraction and influence zone 1.2184 - 1.2160 - 1.2133, which determines the persistence of consolidation and uncertainty in the higher time frames.

GBP/USD

The historical support of 1.4090, reinforced by the final level of the daily Ichimoku golden cross, provoked the development of deceleration again. The pound remains in the zone of the previously formed consolidation. It is still possible to note the influence of the levels of the Ichimoku daily cross (1.4127-35-55) in its center, led by the daily short-term trend. The breakdown of the current support levels will open up opportunities to continue the decline. The next pivot point is found in the area of 1.4008-22 (weekly short-term trend + historical level).

The bears retained the main advantage in the smaller time frames since they took control of the weekly long-term trend. The breakdown of the level of 1.4131 (weekly long-term trend) and consolidation above will change the current balance of power. In this case, the resistance of 1.4154 (R2) and 1.4184 (R3) will become the intraday upward targets. On the contrary, the update the low (1.4069) will allow us to consider new pivot points to strengthen the bearish mood. The intraday supports are set at 1.4046 (S2) and 1.4022 (S3).
