Technical Analysis
EUR/USD
After the US Federal Reserve reduced its rate by 0.5%, markets reacted atypically: stock indices began to decline, and the US dollar attempted to strengthen. A little later, stock markets began to grow, but the US dollar continued to grow. Perhaps the market considered that the American currency had already fallen enough in price in recent days.
Technical analysis of EUR/USD indicates an upcoming bullish trend reversal. First of all, falling fractals signal this. It is also worth noting that the asset has reached a strategic resistance level of 1.12000.
NZD/CAD
This pair may rush to 0.84500 after a false breakdown of the upward support level has occurred.
EUR/AUD
This pair broke through the support level at 1.68300. Now traders will begin to win back the appearance of the figure “head and shoulders”. We recommend considering asset sales.
