The overall result of the candlestick calculation based on the weekly chart: the price will most likely move in an upward trend, both without the first lower shadow (Monday - up) and without the second upper shadow (Friday - up) in the weekly white candlestick.

The first upward target is set at 1.3984 (blue bold line) – the resistance line. After reaching this level, the price may further increase to the next target of 1.4092 (yellow dotted line) – the pullback level of 76.4%. Once this line is tested, the upward movement may extend to the target of 1.4142 (yellow dotted line) – the pullback level of 85.4%.

As an alternative, the price from the level of 1.3878 (closing of the last weekly candle) may decline to the target of 1.3816 (red dotted line) – the pullback level of 14.6%. After testing this level, it may further rise to the target of 1.3984 (blue bold line) – the resistance line.
