USD/JPY
With USDJPY, the price still respects the downtrend line and is approaching the bottom of 106.4. Keeping the view down as it was; However, the position to sell should not be added. This should only be done after the bottom is broken. The immediate target is 105.7, the further is 105. Another point to note is that Bollinger bands are being compressed quite tightly. Breakout force can be very strong. You need to pay attention to this risk.
EUR/USD
On the EURUSD chart, the price approached the conversion zone of 1,088 as expected. However, at present, we have no signal to support the buy order, instead the selling force is quite strong. The MA20 has been broken easily. If the penetration of the level of 1,088 is possible, the price will probably bottom 1,077. In general, EURUSD is not favorable for trading at this time.
GBP/USD
The seller's final hold on the GBPUSD chart has been held. The MA20 and the 1,250 zone were also broken. Things are gradually getting better for the sellers. You can keep your orders. The target is zone 1.22.
USD/CAD
On the USDCAD chart, the price has retreated slightly after rebounding sharply from the end of the bulls. But everything was okay. It is likely that the price will bounce back at 1.40. You should continue to maintain the medium-term long positions.
AUD/USD
On the AUDUSD chart, after breaking the H4 up channel, prices bounced up from the MA20 zone on the daily chart but with little force. Currently, the price is testing the confluence zone 0.645. We still hold the view that the price is likely to retreat to the 0.62 area before rebounding and this is a potential buying point.
