EUR/USD
Higher timeframes
Despite a fairly effective rebound upon meeting the resistance levels 1.0016-76, last week closed with a candle of uncertainty. The pair remains tied to the psychological level of 1.0000, while thinking about the future prospects. For the bulls in the current situation, the next important task is to break through the daily Ichimoku cross (1.0037 – 1.0066 – 1.0114 ) and gaining support from the weekly short-term trend (1.0116). For bears, the recovery of the downward trend (0.9864) is still of primary importance.
H4 – H1
On the lower timeframes, consolidation and uncertainty have led the pair in the zone of attraction and influence of key levels—0.9999 (central pivot point of the day) - 1.0027 (weekly long-term trend). Breakdown and consolidation above can contribute to the activity of the bulls. The reference points for further upward move within the day are 1.0053 – 1.0091 – 1.0145 (resistance of classical pivot points). Meanwhile, the reference points for the decline are the classic pivot points (0.9961 – 0.9907 – 0.9869), the target for the breakdown of the H4 cloud (0.9897 – 0.9864) and the minimum extremum of the downward trend of higher timeframes (0.9864).

GBP/USD
Higher timeframes
Last week failed to realize a close below the significant historical milestone of this area—1.1411 (minimum extremum of 2020). Therefore, for the appearance of new prospects for bearish players, first of all, it is important to overcome the met support. The immediate resistance of the higher timeframes is now the daily short-term trend of 1.1543.
H4 – H1
The main advantage on the lower timeframes currently belongs to the bears. Among the reference points for continued decline today is the target for the breakdown of the H4 Ichimoku cloud (1.1342) and the support of the classic pivot points (1.1351 – 1.1286 – 1.1222). If the current correction develops, the key levels for bulls will be 1.1415 (central pivot point) and 1.1531 (weekly long-term trend). Consolidation above and reversal of the moving average will change the current balance of power.
