EUR/USD

The deceleration formed when entering the zone of influence of the monthly Fibo Kijun (1.1695) managed to develop into a corrective rise, the nearest reference point of which is now the area of 1.1821-23 (the daily short-term trend + the first target level of the daily target). The level of 100% completion of the daily target (1.1762) can interfere with the development of the situation and provide attraction at the current stage. Today, we close the week. The long lower shadow on the weekly candlestick will contribute to the formation of prerequisites for the retest of the levels of the weekly Ichimoku cross passed the day before.

The bulls are trying to achieve a reliable advantage. The key supports of the lower halves have joined forces today and will help the bulls to defend their interests at 1.1755 (the central Pivot level + the weekly long-term trend). The resistances of the classic Pivot levels are now the benchmarks for continuing the rise within the day (1.1800 – 1.1823 – 1.1867). The loss of key levels (1.1755) may bring the bears back to the market. Their landmarks today are located at 1,1733 – 1,1689 – 1,1666 (supports classic Pivot levels).
