USD/JPY
The price has approached the neckline of the Double Top pattern, which is also the lower boundary of the range. We can continue to hold probes sell orders and maybe move the Stop Loss to reduce risk. Please wait patiently for the opportunity to replenish your position when the price breaks down to 108.4. The target will be the 107 price range.
EUR/USD
EUR/USD has been heavily sold in the last session and is now approaching its lowest price level since late November of last year. Selling pressure is being evident. We should be ready for short orders. The trigger signal will be when the price breaks the 1.180 - 1.185 zone. The target then will be the price zone 1.17.
GBP/USD
GBP/USD has also been strongly sold in the past session, and the bulls have lost the important 1.38 mark. These new price actions have forced us to adjust tactics. Buying at this point is no longer appropriate, instead selling on a newly revised bearish structure. This is a continuation of the major trend correction on the daily chart, and the target will be around the lower boundary of the uptrend channel, the 1.355 - 1.360 zone.
USD/CAD
The price recovered to the zone 1.26 as expected. This is an important transition area that we are currently selling. However, we should not be in a hurry, because the buying pressure is quite strong and there is no reliable model enough for us to activate the order. Continue to wait. In case the price breaks out of the channel, the bulls can push the price to the zone 1.270-75.
AUD/USD
Hopefully, you can add your short position next to the previous exploration orders when the price breaks the 0.77 support zone. The downward momentum is very strong, but the price is approaching the lowest price range this year, so we cannot rule out the possibility that there will be an adjustment. You should consider partial exit and move Stop Loss to minimize risk. The next target will be the lower boundary of the long-term upside channel.
