USD/JPY
USDJPY continues to test the patience of traders when accumulating in a narrow range. The whole session only fluctuated 40 pips. On the daily chart, the price is also approaching the MA20. Maintain the old view: wait for the breakout to break below 107 and then sell short.
EUR/USD
Prices on EURUSD are still falling as expected and are about to reach the bottom of 1,078. However, you should maintain only pending positions. Only add short positions when price breaks this bottom. The target is 1.06.
GBP/USD
GBPUSD corrected slightly yesterday but this has little effect on our current short orders. The MA20 lines still hold. You can narrow the Stop Loss to reduce the risk. If the zone of 1.22 is broken, the next target is 1.20. When there is a breakout signal, you can add positions if necessary.
USD/CAD
USDCAD price also dropped yesterday but it also did not affect the medium-term ‘long’ positions. Expect the price to soon break the resistance of 1.43 and approach the target of 1.45. The buyers only have to worry when the support zone of 1.40 is broken. For now, keep the position and narrow the Stop Loss.
AUD/USD
AUDUSD has not created a noticeable signal that the price may continue sideway for a while. We pay attention to the two levels of 0.645 and 0.620. Price action in these two areas will determine our reaction.
