USD/JPY
USDJPY does not have many changes. Price is still around the neck-line of the double bottom pattern. The accumulation is too long showing the indecision of the buying side and reducing the possibility of going up. However, it is not enough for us to give up the long command. The target is still the 110 area. Also, any neck-line breakout could pave the way for declines to the bottom of 107. Note this.
EUR/USD
Not much has changed on the EURUSD chart. Price is still stuck between the MA20 on the daily chart and the H4 chart. Besides, there is a large triangle pattern on the H4 chart. The signals are conflicting and unclear, so we shouldn't trade. It is important to look closely at confluence areas with two trend lines.
GBP/USD
On the GBPUSD chart, the upper band of the rising flag has been broken. However, it cannot be called a model completion (dashed lines still exist). Therefore, we should not buy at this time. Nor does it exclude the possibility that price will retreat at the resistance area of 1.250. In general, price action in this region will determine our reaction.
USD/CAD
USDCAD is still on the right track. It did not fluctuate much yesterday as it waited for news to come out today. Currently the price action is still supporting us. The bottom of 1.40 has been approached again. Those who are holding 'short' should consider exiting the orders partially. The rest of the orders should target zone 1.38.
AUD/USD
Price has not been able to return to its bottom as expected. Instead it is making very noticeable changes. The 0.62 peak was broken and established a higher and higher top structure. Therefore, it is likely that prices will continue to go up. Our view changes. Buying orders should be considered. The risk now is that the breakout force is not strong enough.
