4-hour timeframe
Overview:
Another correction started without even touching the first support level, which is indicated by MACD. The formed sell signal has target level of 1.2966. This signal is strong and confirmed since the Chinkou Span fixed below the price graph and the price managed to fixate below the Ishimoku cloud. But as mentioned before, correction movement is continuing, therefore it is not recommended to trade down until it ends. The first target for downside movement is 1.3047 – the first support level. If the first support level is passed the next target will be the second support level of 1.2907. The downside movement remains while the price is below the Kijun-Sen (1.3220), short positions should be closed if the price strengthens above this line. The Chinkou Span is below the price graph, thus confirming the current sell signal and indicates the bearish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show possible completion of the downwards movement or a prolonged correction, the lines are not diverging and directed sideways. It is recommended to resume trading after the lines start to diverge again. The MACD is ascending, thus pointing to the current correction movement.
Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to trade down with the target to 1.3047, in case this level is passed the target will be 1.2907. Stop Loss should be placed above 1.3127. Short positions should be opened only if the MACD reverses down and Bollinger bands start to diverge.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
