Higher timeframes
The upward correction brought the pair back to the zone of recent consolidation, which was formed during the fulfillment of the monthly target for the breakdown of the Ichimoku cloud around its final line (1.0539 level of 100% target completion). Confirmation and continuation of the correction will send bullish interests to eliminate the daily death cross and test the weekly short-term trend—today these resistances are located at 1.0642 – 1.0712 – 1.0767. Deceleration and return of uncertainty moods will form the continuation of consolidation and delay the development of the situation. If the correction is completed, attention will be directed to a more successful breakdown of the support at 1.0339 (2017 bottom).
H4 - H1
The main advantage on the lower timeframes has shifted to the bulls. After testing the Ichimoku cloud on H4 (1.0562), there has been a corrective decline. If bulls now manage to keep the upper hand and keep the key levels located at 1.0511 (central pivot point of the day) and 1.0456 (weekly long-term trend) as supports today, then we can expect a continuation of the rise and strengthening of the bullish sentiments. At the same time, the references within the day will be the resistance of the classic pivot points 1.0593 – 1.0639 – 1.0721, and the breakdown of the Ichimoku cloud on H4 will form a new upward target, which will also serve as a guide.
