EUR/USD
The slowdown was replaced by an update of the minimum. Now, the decline continues. The bears retain the advantage and their target is still at 1.0960 - 1.0806 (weekly target for the breakout of the Ichimoku cloud). The nearest resistance zone is now formed by the monthly Fibo Kijun (1.1290) and the daily short-term trend (1.1325), passed the day before.
On the lower timeframes, another corrective rise is currently developing. The pair seeks to gain a foothold above the central pivot point (1.1213), and bulls aim to conquer the weekly long-term trend (1.1268). The intermediate resistance along this path is located at 1.1240 (R1). A consolidation above and a reversal of moving averages may change the current balance of power, giving preference to further strengthening of bullish sentiment.
Until this moment, the advantages are on the side of the bearish players, who for a long time, despite the corrective ups, have been engaged in the development of a downward trend. Exit from the current correction zone and the continuation of the decline will return the relevance of the supports of the classic pivot points (1.1171 - 1.1144 - 1.1102) within the day.
