EUR/USD

This image is no longer relevant

Higher time frames

The situation has not changed much over the past 24 hours. The pair is still holding near the support level of the daily short-term trend (1.0848). Consolidation below this level and a further decline will bring the price to the lower levels of the daily Ichimoku Cross at 1.0759 – 1.0706 – 1.0653 and the weekly short-term trend at 1.0687. The bearish scenario is more likely in current conditions for various reasons. If bulls return to the market at some point, their main target will be the key resistance of 1.0931-43 (upper boundary of the weekly Ichimoku Cloud + monthly medium-term trend).

H4 – H1

Bears are taking over the pair on lower time frames. The pair is currently trading below the central pivot level of 1.0868 and the weekly long-term trend of 1.0880. The next downward targets on the intraday chart are found at the support of standard pivot levels of 1.0821 – 1.0793 – 1.0746. A breakout of the Ichimoku Cloud on H4 and consolidation in the selling zone will support the bearish trend and will send the price for a new breakout.

Higher time frames

The daily short-term trend has slightly shifted from the level of 1.2302. The pair is still trading in the range between 1.2457-40 (upper boundaries of Ichimoku Clouds on monthly and weekly time frames) and 1.2302 (monthly medium-term trend). If the price leaves these boundaries, it may develop a new trajectory.

H4 – H1

On lower time frames, the price has slipped below the key levels found at 1.2367-65 (central pivot level + weekly long-term trend). Trading below this range will support the sellers. Other intraday targets for bears are located at standard pivot levels of 1.2286 and 1.2235 as well as at the lower boundary of the cloud on H4. If the price settles outside the H4 cloud, it may head lower for new downward targets.

Technical analysis is based on:

Higher time frames – Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (9.26.52) + Fibo Kijun levels

Lower time frames – H1: Pivot Points (standard) + 120-day Moving Average (weekly long-term trend)
