If the price fixes above the 1.16600 mark, we recommend considering buying EUR/USD. The movement is tending to 1.17000-1.17500.

Alternative option. If the EUR/USD quotes overcome the level of 1.16200, it is necessary to search for entry points to the market for opening short positions. The target level of movement is to 1.15800-1.15500.

Yesterday, the Canadian dollar continued to lose ground against the US dollar. The pressure was caused by a weak report on Canada's GDP. At the moment, the USD/CAD currency pair is consolidating in the range of 1.28750-1.29000. In the near future, a technical correction is not ruled out. Positions must be opened from the key levels. We recommend paying attention to the news background on the US economy.

There are no important economic reports from Canada today.

If the statistics from the US turns out to be weak, we expect the correction of the USD/CAD currency pair to the level of 1.28450-1.28100.
