USD/JPY
Similar to gold, the bullish signal failed and the price returned to retest the resistance area of 108.4. Currently, the bearish force is very good, so if you still have a short order, you can keep holding and moving a Stop Loss. The next and final target for this selling is the support zone 108. If there is no order, do not try to chase the price, but wait for the signal to reverse in the above price area to come back. medium-term uptrend.
EUR/USD
The target for long term orders has been reached, the price is retesting the trendline broken. Although the bullish force is quite good, on the medium-term onwards, the selling side is still dominant, moreover the area of 1.107 is also a strong confluence zone, so we should exit part of the order or move the Stop Loss to reduce risk and wait for price action in this sensitive area.
GBP/USD
Price approached the target area 1.32. The price action is showing that it still respects the medium-long-term uptrend. The accumulation area has been broken with quite strong force, so we expect the price could keep going up. Those who have bought in area 1.3 can continue raising orders. If there is no order, you can wait for the price to return to MA20 to buy.
USD/CAD
Price is approaching the upper boundary of the upward channel - the confluence zone of 1.325. Looking at the daily chart, from the beginning of the year until now, the momentum is quite fast. There has not been a clear correction, and the higher the price, the higher this possibility. Therefore, despite seeing an uptrend present on H4, this is not the right time to buy. Be careful with deep corrections.
AUD/USD
AUD/USD has had the strongest weekly decline in recent months. It is also circling the bottom of many years. As a warning, at such a sensitive area we should trade only when there is a clear signal. This is not the time for both sides. Please wait patiently.
