Analysis of Trading Charts from October 19The EUR/USD currency pair again reduced the volume of long positions when it reached the resistance level around 1.0600/1.0620. This led to a price pullback and a partial recovery of the dollar positions after the recent decline.
GBP/USD temporarily rose above the 1.2150 level; however, this movement was driven by local selling of dollar positions in the market. There were no significant changes, and the trend still remains bearish.

EUR/USD Trading Plan for October 20For a subsequent increase in the volume of long positions, price stabilization above the resistance area at 1.0600/1.0620 is necessary. Otherwise, the ongoing price rebound may lead to the strengthening of dollar positions towards the 1.0500 level.
In the case of further price decline, movement towards the upper range of the psychological level at 1.2000/1.2050 is possible. This scenario could indicate the extension of the medium-term trend in the long run.
