Technical picture

There have been no significant changes in the technical picture since the last analysis. For weeks, the pair continues to remain in the consolidation zone, trying to consolidate in the bullish zone relative to the Ichimoku cloud, but at the same time, weekly candles have long upper shadows. On the daily timeframe, the players to increase managed to stay on the supports of the daily Ichimoku cross, but progress has not been observed for a long time. The leading reference points remain the same. For players to increase, the sequential update and consolidation above the maximum extremes of the previous movement - 1.1422 and 1.1496 - is now important. For players to decline, it is important to leave the zone of weekly consolidation and daily uncertainty, its minimum is 1.1168.

At the lower time intervals, the uncertainty of the higher timings has led to the fact that the advantages that are due to the possession of key levels do not allow to achieve results. Currently, the key H1 levels are supports and are located at 1.1304 (weekly long-term trend) and 1.1293 (central Pivot level). Other intraday upward reference points today include 1.1371 (last week's high) and 1.1401 (R3). A consolidation below the key supports (1.1304 - 1.1293) will return the relevance of the classic Pivot levels S1 (1.1261) -S2 (1.1223) - S3 (1.1191).
