USD/JPY
The bearish engulfing pattern has clearly formed on USDJPY's H4 and D1 frames. The accumulation zone also shows signs of being broken, so it is likely that the price will continue falling in the short term. The point to note now is that the RR ratio is not good. You should not trade at this time.
EUR/USD
The price continues to accumulate, although it is approaching a weak confluence - at 1.128 but you should not trade now because the range has narrowed a lot. We still continue to pay attention to price action in the border areas for further analysis.
GBP/USD
The price has reached the selling zone of 1,245, but the recovery is still strong and there have been no signs of support for the sell order, so we will continue to wait and extend the waiting range to 1.255. You should not quickly abandon the selling view because basically, the decreasing structure is still present.
USD/CAD
Price is still in range. Who trades ranging also short orders can hold, but do not add new orders at this price range. The target is still the bottom of the accumulation area. Those who trade reversal or trend should continue to wait for the breakout.
AUD/USD
Price rebounded slightly but failed to break through the accumulation area. Below, the bulls are still actively ambushing the medium-long-term uptrend line. Today we have a bearish candlestick signal but we should not trade it as the accumulation zone is coming to an end. It’s likely that a breakout will come today with the US NFP.
