There are three of them this week – in Japan, United States and Great Britain. It was hard to open short trades according to our recommendations as the price did not reach the trendline. We advise to do nothing today as there is currently no tendency on the chart.
There is the downtrend on the Weekly chart as the price is below the MA55 balance line. The currency pair slowed down its decline last week. We think it is going to develop a correction in the nearest future. However, there are still doubts on the direction of this correction.
There in no trend on the Hourly chart as the MA-channel is neutral and the price is close to the MA55 balance line. We advise to avoid trading today as the situation is still unclear.
GBPUSDThe currency pair established a downtrend but it is likely to be short as nothing is indicating on a long-term downside tendency. 1,26000-1,26100 area remains untouched and this is another sign of weakness of a downside tendency. However, we think that today there are opportunities to open short trades if price allows to do it. It is better to trade before the American session.
