The EUR/USD currency pair
- Prev Open: 1.1993
- Prev Close: 1.1905
- % chg. over the last day: -0.74%
The EUR/USD currency pair decreased by 0.74% due the rise of the dollar index. Buyers' reaction is very weak, but now the price has approached the global support of the higher timeframe, and the vertical volumes have decreased, indicating that the sellers are not so active anymore.
- Support levels: 1.1908, 1.1835, 1.1809
- Resistance levels: 1.1962, 1.2002, 1.2050, 1.2109, 1.2144, 1.2174, 1.2212, 1.2243
The sellers' pressure is still higher than the buyers'. But the MACD indicator has started signaling a divergence. The best strategy for traders is to look for the sell trades from resistance levels. But considering the strong deviation from the middle line and the presence of support levels of a higher timeframe, it is possible to look for buy deals. But it is better to look for entry points on the intraday interval and with short targets.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2144 resistance level and fixes above, the general uptrend is likely to resume.
The GBP/USD currency pair
- Prev Open: 1.3981
- Prev Close: 1.3923
- % chg. over the last day: -0.48%
The GBP/USD currency pair decreased by 0.42% on Thursday. The situation is very similar to the one with the euro, with the difference that the British pound reached a strong daily support level of 1.3914. Taking into account the reduction of volume, there is a good chance of a corrective upside bounce.
- Support levels: 1.3914, 1.3835, 1.3801
- Resistance levels: 1.4002, 1.4075, 1.4100, 1.4138, 1.4191
The trend on the GBP/USD currency pair is bearish on the H1 timeframe. At the moment, the price is trading below the moving average. The MACD indicator is oversold, but there are first signs of divergence. Under such market conditions, traders are better to look for the sell trades from resistance levels. Considering the strong deviation from the moving average, traders can also look for the buy trades from the support level of 1.3914 on the intraday timeframes.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.4138 resistance level and consolidates above, the bearish scenario is likely to be canceled.

Alternative scenario: if the price falls below 109.83, the general downtrend is likely to resume.
