The EURUSD currency pair formed a slight stagnation around the value of 1.0900 on the way to restore the downward movement. This led to a reduction in the volume of short positions and, as a result, a price pullback.

The GBPUSD currency pair approached the level of 1.3000 with surgical precision, where the downward movement slowed down. The psychological level puts pressure on sellers, but in this situation, it is considered by traders only as a variable foothold on the path of a downward trend.

Despite the high desire of traders to continue to form a downward trend, the level of 1.3000 has a negative impact on the volume of short positions. This can lead to a slowdown in the downward cycle and, as a result, a price pullback.
