  • Day’s range: 1.17951 – 1.18274
  • 52 wk range: 1.0637 – 1.2012

The technical pattern on the EUR/USD currency pair is still ambiguous. The trading instrument continues to consolidate.

At the moment, the local support and resistance levels are 1.1790 and 1.1830, respectively. EUR/USD quotes have the potential for further decline. We recommend opening positions from key levels.

The MACD histogram is in the negative zone, which indicates the development of bearish sentiment.

Boris Johnson said that the trade agreement with the EU should be concluded before October 15, otherwise it will never be met. At the moment, the GBP/USD currency pair is testing the 1.3120 mark. The 1.3180 mark is already a “mirror” resistance. A further decline in GBP/USD quotes is possible. Positions should be opened from key levels.
