• % chg. over the last day: +0.04%

Yesterday the EUR/USD pair traded in a narrow range of 1.2000 – 1.2035 and closed the day with a result of +0.04%. On the H1 and the H4 timeframes, the price is above the moving average. The MACD on H4 is in the positive zone. Buying is the priority.

Trading recommendations

• Support levels: 1.1990, 1.1927, 1.1860, 1.1797, 1.1700
• Resistance levels: 1.2080, 1.2100, 1.2242

Yesterday, the currency pair made a corrective movement to its key level of 1.1990 and provided a good entry point for buying. In the future, we recommend looking for entry points on corrections on lower timeframes to the trend line or after the price breaks out and fixes above the level of 1.2080.

Alternative scenario: after breaking through and fixing below the level of 1.1990, the price may go to the support level of 1.1927.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:

• Prev Open: 108.07
• Prev Close: 108.04
• % chg. over the last day: -0.03%

Yesterday, the USD/JPY pair traded in the range of 107.85 – 108.20, showing a change of -0.03%. On the H1 and H4 timeframes, the price is below the moving average, which tells us about the continuation of the downward movement. It is worth selling the instrument.

Trading recommendations

• Support levels: 107.87, 107.00
• Resistance levels: 108.60, 109.08, 109.75

While the pair is in a downtrend, we recommend sticking to bearish trading. The main scenario is looking for a sell entry point after price correction to the 108.60 level or after breaking through 107.87. It is also worth paying attention to the MACD divergence, which may signal a trend reversal.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out and consolidates above the level of 108.63, it is worth buying to the level of 109.08.
