Simplified wave analysis of GBP/USD and USD/JPY on May 18

GBP/USD

Analysis:

An upward wave has been forming on the chart of the British pound since mid-March. In the last two months, the price is adjusted in a wide price range. On April 5, its last section started. At the end of last week, the price pushed through a strong level of large-scale support, which indicates the continuation of the current decline.

Forecast:

Today, the most likely scenario for price movement is a sideways movement between the nearest zones. The resistance is the former support level. By the end of the day, the probability of a return to the downward rate increases, with the price moving down.

Potential reversal zones

Resistance:

- 1.2160/1.2190

Support:

- 1.2080/1.2050

Recommendations:

Before the appearance of reversal signals, sales of the instrument are more promising. It is better to look for entry points in the area of the calculated resistance. In the European session, short-term purchases with a reduced lot are possible.
