Higher Timeframes

The daily short-term trend continues to hold the market close. Today, it has shifted to the lower part of the consolidation zone (1.0269) as if encouraging bullish players to take action. If the bulls capitalize on the lack of resistance from the daily short-term trend, they will need to overcome additional resistance from the daily Ichimoku "dead cross" (1.0315 – 1.0357 – 1.0399), reinforced by the weekly short-term trend (1.0404), to initiate a rise and achieve a broader shift in the situation. Breaking through the Ichimoku "dead cross" will allow bullish players to consider new opportunities.

For bearish players, the nearest target remains the historical support at 1.0200. Their primary objective is to update the corrective low at 1.0179 and restore the downward trend.

H4 – H1

Bullish players maintain a primary advantage on lower timeframes despite prolonged sideways movement. The weekly long-term trend at 1.0278 acts as the lower boundary of the sideways range, supporting this advantage. Breaking and reversing this trend could shift the current balance of power. For directional movement, additional intraday targets include classical Pivot level supports at 1.0248, 1.0224, and 1.0183 and resistances at 1.0313, 1.0354, and 1.0378.

Higher Timeframes

Consolidation within the monthly cloud persists, with uncertainty dominating. The boundaries of the monthly cloud serve as key levels for further movement. Market participants who manage to break through the boundaries of the cloud and firmly establish themselves outside it can unlock new opportunities. For bearish players, moving into the bearish zone relative to the monthly cloud at 1.2099 opens the path toward the weekly downward targets of 1.1894 and 1.1723. For bullish players, breaking into the bullish zone relative to the monthly cloud at 1.2301 shifts the focus to the resistance cluster across various timeframes at 1.2425–1.2456.

H4 – H1

The consolidation seen on higher timeframes has caused the pair to coil around the weekly long-term trend at 1.2200 on lower timeframes, reinforcing the prevailing uncertainty. The situation can only shift if the pair escapes the gravitational pull and influence of the trend to develop a directional movement. If bearish players act first, additional intraday targets will be the classical Pivot level supports at 1.2135, 1.2106, and 1.2052. Should the bulls aim to initiate an upward movement today, their objectives will include surpassing the classic Pivot level resistances at 1.2218, 1.2272, and 1.2301.
