If the price consolidates below the support level of 1.11800, you need to look for entry points to the market in order to open short positions. The movement is tending potentially to 1.11500-1.11200.

Alternative option. If the EUR/USD quotes overcome the level of 1.12250, the bullish sentiment may prevail. The target level of movement is 1.12600-1.12800.

The MACD histogram has fixed in the negative zone and continues to decline, which signals a downward trend on GBP/USD.

It is better to open positions from key levels.

If the price has fixed below the local support 1.27100, the downward trend in GBP/USD may continue. The target movement level is 1.26750-1.26400.

Alternative option. If the GBP/USD rate overcomes the local resistance of 1.27600, technical correction may develop. The movement is tending potentially to 1.27900-1.28350.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.34350, 1.34000

We believe that the downward trend in USD/CAD may continue. If the price fixes below the support level 1.34350, we recommend considering sales. The movement is tending potentially to 1.34000-1.33750.

Alternative option. If the USD/CAD quotes overcome the level of 1.34700, the corrective movement may develop. The immediate goal for profit taking is a round level of 1.35000.
