Technical analysis of EUR/USD and GBP/USD on April 15, 2022

EUR/USD

Higher time frames

Yesterday, bulls failed to push the pair up from support at 1.0806 after the price had rebounded. Consequently, bears were able to test the mark and attempted to break through it. The next downward target stands in the range of 1.0721 – 1.0539. The market closes for the weekend today. Therefore, in case of a breakout of the weekly target, bearish activity may well increase. Resistance is seen at 1.0874 (daily short-term trend) – 1.0921 (daily Fobo Kijun) – 1.0960-72 (daily mid-term trend).

H4 – H1

Yesterday, bulls failed to consolidate at the achieved levels, and sentiment turned bearish. Should the price break through support at 1.0788 in the 4-hour time frame, classical Pivot levels will become support (1.0750 – 1.0672 – 1.0585). Bullish sentiment will return if buyers consolidate above the key support levels of lower time frames. They now stand in the 1.0837-62 range (central Pivot level + weekly long-term trend).
