EUR/USD

Yesterday, the Euro showed a significant and rapid growth. At the moment, the price is testing the resistance level/upper limit of the local range 1.1463. Given that the upward movement was on the large volume, we can consider a scenario of the breakdown of this mark, which will allow us to open long positions with this currency pair.

The surge of the pair should be sharp, confident, and also supported by the large volume, which will be a more accurate and reliable signal to enter the market. A stop loss should be placed slightly below the breakout volume bar. The potential of the deal is about 130-140 points.

GBP/USD

The situation with the Pound has not changed as the price continues trading inside the local range. Nevertheless, given the presence of the strong downtrend with this instrument, we still should give advantage to short positions.

A stop loss should be placed above the new resistance level. A potential of the deal is more than 100 points.

USD/CAD

It is necessary to allocate the new level of resistance 1.3427, which contains the large volume and stopped the rise of the pair. However, there is a strong uptrend and the price is trading near this mark, so that we can consider a scenario of its breakout, which will allow us to open purchases.

A potential of the deal is more than 80 points.
