Technical analysis recommendations on EUR/USD and GBP/USD for September 26, 2022

EUR/USD

Higher timeframes

Last week, the pair left the correction zone and resumed its decline. The benchmarks for a downward trend on higher timeframes can now be 0.9000 (psychological level) and 0.8225 (2000 low). In the event of another slowdown or corrective rise, resistance in the higher timeframes may be provided by the levels of the daily cross, which in the current situation went down to the lines of 0.9800 - 0.9876, as well as the strengthened area of 0.9961 - 1.0000 (weekly short-term trend + psychological level).

H4 – H1

By now, bears have tested the second support of the classic pivot points (0.9552). The next reference point for the intraday decline is the third support of the classic pivot points (0.9437). Now the main advantage belongs to the bears. However, in the last few hours on the lower timeframes, the pair is in the zone of a corrective rise. The most significant reference points for the development of an upward correction today are the resistance of key levels—0.9736 (central pivot point) and 0.9877 (weekly long-term trend). The intermediate resistance in this range can be noted at 0.9805 (R1). When testing the indicated levels, an upward correction of the daily timeframe (0.9800 - 0.9876) will also be executed. Therefore, a breakdown of resistance and consolidation above can change the current balance of power not only in the lower timeframes. The overall situation, in this case, would be better assessed once again.

GBP/USD

Higher timeframes

The downward trend has been restored and is developing. The next nearest target is the psychological support level of 1.0000. The levels passed earlier today rushed behind the price chart and formed the boundaries of resistance. So, the nearest resistance levels are now the levels of the daily Ichimoku cross (1.0172 - 1.1178), above there is a zone that combines several levels at once, 1.1324 - 1.1429 (weekly levels + broken level of the 2020 low).

H4 – H1

The main advantage is on the side of the bears. However, before reaching the final support of the classic pivot points at 1.0262, the decline stopped. The pair is currently in the correction zone on the lower timeframes, which tends to develop. The most important benchmarks of the upward correction today can be noted at 1.0984 (central pivot point) and 1.1232 (weekly long-term trend). The intermediate resistance is at 1.1130 (R1 is the resistance of the classic Pivot levels).
