USD/JPY
Price bounced up from the 105 zone, reacting quite correctly to the rising channel line. However, the bullish signal is not really clear, and this can cause many people to miss the opportunity to enter. Whoever bought in time, continue to keep the order and move the Stop Loss to close to 105 to reduce the risk. Anyone who has not bought yet will wait for the opportunity at 104.5.

EUR/USD
The price has not been able to penetrate the 1.217 zone to create a new high and confirm the expected uptrend structure. However, the rejection force around this price area is relatively weak, just enough to create a doji pattern on the daily chart. We will continue to maintain the old strategy: Wait for the bullish structure to be confirmed to buy.
GBP/USD
Prices are still drifting up and there are no downside signs as we expected. The opportunity has not come yet so please wait patiently. Again, while the uptrend is still on, it is at the upper bounds and the market is in overbought conditions. Trend traders should not enter now because the RR ratio is not good and the possibility of a downward correction is very high.

After a slight recovery from the 1.26 zone, the price was quickly forced back to this support zone, reflecting that the buying pressure around this zone is quite weak and the possibility of a breakout is relatively high. Fundamental factors are also supporting USDCAD's possible further downside. Wait patiently for the breakdown signals to enter short orders. Avoid entering orders too early because it is easy to get a bear trap.
AUD/USD
The price had a slight pullback after the breakout, giving the opportunity to enter at a good price. The daily chart doji pattern is also showing signs of being broken. Continue to consider buy orders to move up to the psychological resistance zone of 0.80. Stop Loss could be placed below 0.785 in case of a sudden correction.
