EUR/USD

The downward movement continued yesterday. Although the activity is not great, the bears retain the advantages. The next bearish pivot points are still the monthly Fibo Kijun (1.1695) and the support of the historical minimum extreme (1.1602). Currently, the levels of the daily Ichimoku cross remain the nearest resistances, being located at 1.1796 - 1.1818 - 1.1839 today.

The advantage in the smaller time frames still belongs to the bearish traders. The downward trend continues to reach new lows. The supports for the classic pivot levels (1.1724 - 1.1712 - 1.1690) serve as pivot points for the continuation of the decline. In turn, the key levels on H1, which are responsible for changes in the balance of power, now act as resistances and are still forming a sufficiently wide range for a correction.

The central pivot level is now located at 1.1746, and the weekly long-term trend is now at 1.1811. All resistances of the classic pivot levels (1.1758 - 1.1780 - 1.1792) are set between the key levels and nearest pivot points in case of an upward correction.

GBP/USD

The bears are testing the consolidation of supports 1.3851 - 1.3830-25 (weekly Tenkan + Fibo Kijun + daily Fibo Kijun). Once it is overcome, bearish interests will be aimed at breaking through the support levels of the daily Ichimoku cross 1.3777 (Kijun) - 1.3728 (Fibo Kijun) and the monthly short-term trend (1.3690). Today's resistance zone, consisting of several important and strong levels of various time frames, retains its value and location within the borders of 1.3910 - 1.3958 - 1.3990.

An upward correction is currently developing on the hourly chart and the bulls are fighting for the central pivot level (1.3859). The weekly long-term trend (1.3895) is next. A consolidation above can significantly affect the current balance of power in the smaller periods. Further, the main importance will be to break through the resistances (1.3910 - 1.3958 - 1.3990) of the higher time frames. If the situation changes and the opponent manages to return positions, then we can focus on the supports of the classic pivot levels, which are seen at 1.3823 - 1.3805 - 1.3769.
