March 18, 2019 : EUR/USD Bearish opportunity around upper border of trend channel.

On January 10th, the market initiated the depicted bearish channel around 1.1570.

The bearish channel's upper limit managed to push price towards 1.1290 then 1.1235 before the EUR/USD pair could come again to meet the channel's upper limit around 1.1420.

Bullish fixation above 1.1430 was needed to enhance a further bullish movement towards 1.1520.

However, the market has been demonstrated obvious bearish rejection around 1.1430

That's why, the recent bearish movement was demonstrated towards 1.1175 (channel's lower limit) where significant bullish recovery was demonstrated on March 7th.

Bullish persistence above 1.1270 (Fibonacci 38.2%) enhanced further bullish advancement towards 1.1290-1.1315 (the depicted supply zone) where temporary bearish rejection was demonstrated.

Last week, the EUR/USD pair demonstrated a temporary bullish breakout above 1.1315 which was followed by a period of indecision/hesitation that brought the pair again within the depicted supply zone.

This week, another bullish breakout attempt is being executed above 1.1327 (61.8% Fibonacci level).

This probably enhance a further bullish movement towards 1.1370 and 1.1390 where the upper limit of the depicted movement channel is located.

On the other hand, bearish breakout below the price level of 1.1270 (38.2% Fibonacci) will probably liberate a quick bearish retraction towards 1.1160 again where the lower limit of the movement channel can be tested again.

Trade recommendations :

Conservative traders should wait for the current bullish pullback to pursue towards 1.1390-1.1400 for a valid SELL signal.

T/P levels to be located around 1.1330, 1.1290 and 1.1220. S/L to be located above 1.1450.

March 18, 2019 : GBP/USD Intraday technical levels and trade recommendations.

On January 2nd, the market initiated the depicted uptrend line around 1.2380.

This uptrend line managed to push price towards 1.3200 before the GBP/USD pair came to meet the uptrend again around 1.2775 on February 14.

Another bullish wave was demonstrated towards 1.3350 before the bearish pullback brought the pair towards the uptrend again on March 11.

A weekly gap pushed the pair slightly below the trend line (almost reaching 1.2960) . However, significant bullish recovery was demonstrated rendering the mentioned bearish gap as a false bearish breakout.

Moreover, a short-term bearish channel was broken to the upside following the mentioned bullish recovery on March 11 rendering the short-term outlook as bullish.

As expected, bullish persistence above 1.3060 allowed the GBPUSD pair to pursue the bullish momentum towards 1.3130, 1.3200 then 1.3300 where significant bearish rejection is being demonstrated

For the current bullish outlook to remain valid, bullish persistence above 1.3230 ( 61.8% Fibonacci expansion level ) is mandatory. Otherwise, the current bullish scenario would be invalidated.

Moreover, bullish persistence above 1.3290 (78.6% Fibonacci expansion level) and 1.3368 ( 100% Fibonacci expansion level) is needed to pursue towards 1.3550-1.3580 (Bullish flag projection target).

On the other hand , bearish breakout below 1.3180 (50% Fibonacci Exp. level) invalidates this bullish setup rendering the short-term outlook bearish towards 1.3070-1.3050 where the depicted uptrend line comes to meet the GBPUSD pair to be tested once more.
