Higher timeframes

The last day did not make any significant changes. The uncertainty persisted. The pair remains in the zone of attraction and influence of the daily medium-term trend (1.0160). As a result, the main prospects and benchmarks have not changed. For bears in the current situation, the main task is to eliminate the golden cross on the daily chart, its final level is now at the turn of 1.0111. If the initiative goes to the bulls, then the nearest resistance for them is still located at 1.0210 (daily Fibo Kijun) – 1.0246 (daily short-term trend) – 1.0285 (weekly short-term trend).

H4 – H1

In the lower timeframes, the pair remains in the correction zone. The first support for the classic pivot points (1.0150) has now been tested. Further, if the decline continues, supports S2 (1.0119) and S3 (1.0093) may come into play. In addition, the target for the breakdown of the H4 cloud (1.0055 - 1.0020) continues to serve as a target. The central pivot point of the day (1.0176) now acts as a center of attraction. The weekly long-term trend (1.0219) in the current situation is the main limitation for the corrective rise.

The objectives of the bulls still hasn't changed. To form further prospects, they still need to overcome the level of 1.2140 (daily short-term trend). The outlook for the bears has not changed either. Their immediate task is the liquidation of the golden cross (1.1963) on the daily chart.
