Hello trader,

Please find here below this week's wave analysis on the EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY daily, weekly and monthly charts. More education, analytics, articles, and webinars can be found daily on Admiral Markets. https://admiralmarkets.com/analytics/

EUR/USD

The EUR/USD is retesting the previous bottom near 1.15, which is a critical decision zone for a bullish bounce or bearish breakout. A bull reversal confirms the larger WXY (pink) reversal within wave B (light purple) whereas a bear break indicates a wave pattern change. In that case, wave 4-5 (pink) within wave A (light purple) is still open.

GBP/USD

The GBP/USD remains in a downtrend channel but price is now challenging a key support trend line (green). A bullish bounce could confirm the potential WXY (purple) correction within wave 2 (pink) whereas a bearish break below the Fibonacci levels of wave X vs W invalidates the correction and makes a downtrend likely.
