USD/JPY chart
Prices did not change significantly after the first session of the week. It continues the accumulation area of the bearish flag and re-tests the 105 transition area. We maintain the old strategy: hold current short positions and add positions when the pattern is complete or when there is a bearish signal around the 105.5 resistance zone above.
EUR/USD chart
There was not much volatility on the EURUSD chart. It is still hovering in the range of the range and has yet to approach two price ranges that we are looking to buy. Therefore, do not enter new orders under the current market conditions. Instead, continue to ambush buy in two zones: when the price re-tests the lower boundary of the uptrend channel and when the price clearly breaks down of the 1.19 zone, helping to confirm the continuation of the uptrend.
GBP/USD chart
The price is still fluctuating around the 1.30 zone, which we are watching to buy. However, the bullish signal acting as a "trigger point" has not appeared, instead a very remarkable bearish pin bar candle bar. This price action can increase the possibility of this price breakout at 1.30 to return to 1.285 (note not to sell in this case because the bullish structure is still present). Therefore, be patient and do not enter buy orders too early!
USD/CAD chart
The price is on its way up to approach the 1.325 price zone as expected. Notice that we eliminated the sell watch scenario around the 1.32 zone. Instead, it is the 1.325 - 1.330 zone when the signal comes. If sell orders are activated, we expect the price to get back to the 1.31 zone soon.
AUD/USD chart
The price still respects the resistance zone of 0.715 around the upper border of the down channel. This is an area where we watch to sell, but the signal is still too weak, so we should not enter all positions, but only probing orders. It should be noted that the longer the price fluctuates in this area, the possibility of it being broken will increase.
