It should be noted that the market was not stable and the trend was not also so clear (It was in a tight sideway range), according to previous events, the price is still trapped between 1.5270 and 1.5500, so it is wise to be careful in this area. Therefore the first step is to wait for a period of tight sideway range market before breakouts. Then, it is probable that the market is going to show the signs of a bullish market. In other words, it will be a good sign to buy above 1.5280 (Support 1: 1.5245) with the first target of 1.53 and it'll climb towards 1.545, then 1.55. However, if the pair does not manage to break 1.55, So the market will indicate a bearish opportunity below 1.5482 and the level will act as a strong resistance, for that it will be good to sell below 1.55 with a first target of 1.537 and it will call for downtrend in order to continue bearish trend towards 1.525.

Definition (s):
Range I – A long-term mean reversion strategy that looks to go against strong divergence from the pair’s average value. It will typically hold trades for an extended period of time and is one of the slower moving trading strategies.
Range II– Like Breakout 2, uses sentiment as a filter for its trades. It will use a simple oscillator range trading strategy but only take the trading signals if SSI is not at extremes. It is fairly short-term in nature and will tend to trade very little during times of strong trending moves. It is likewise one of the most volatility-sensitive trading systems and will tend to do poorly during times of sharp currency moves.
Observation (s):
Please check out the market volatility before investing, because the sight price may have already been reached and scenarios become invalidate.
