USD/JPY
The price movement is still as expected, favorable for the sellers. Price has approached the neckline of the Head and Shoulders model, which is also the triangle pattern. We continue to maintain the short positions that are profitable and consider replenishing positions when the price breaks the 103.6 zone. Target remains at around 103.
EUR/USD
The price was rejected by the 1.215 zone, but the decline was quickly halted around the 1.21 zone and failed to make a new low. This is not a good signal for the sellers. Consider exiting short positions if available. It is likely that the price will correct to the 1.225 zone in the short term. Price action around this zone will hint at the next direction.
GBP/USD
The price was strongly rejected by the 1.37 zone, creating a noticeable drop in the pin bar. Ranging traders can take advantage of this signal because the RR ratio is now relatively good. However, it should be noted that the fact that the price continuously re-tested this upper boundary many times in a short time showed that the current selling pressure is quite weak. The possibility of a price breakout upwards is increasing, and in that case, trend traders might consider returning to the market.
USD/CAD
The price has fallen as expected, but is quite surprised when it can retest 1.265 and is showing signs of breaking this zone. The selling faction is clearly showing its advantage. The downtrend is likely to continue. Consider following the trend when the price shows a clear breakout signal.
AUD/USD
The price did not break the 0.77 zone as expected and is continuing to move up, so sell pending orders are not triggered. In today's session, focus on observing the price zone of 0.78 which is also the upper boundary of the short-term down channel. In the case of bearish signals, probing short orders may be considered. Note: Only enter sufficient volume when the 0.77 zone is broken.
