GBPUSD - H4 Timeframe

GBPUSDH4-1201.png

Here we see the price action on GBPUSD being largely bullish. I think this is because price needs to reach the major supply zone before finally dropping properly. There is also a head-and-shoulder pattern being formed; which solidifies my confidence in the bullish sentiment for the time being.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.28006

Invalidation: 1.27451

EURUSD - H1 Timeframe

EURUSD seems to be following the same path as we saw from GBPUSD above, The price action is currently bullish as a result of the rejection from the trendline support. I expect to see the price action rising much higher towards the supply zone as indicated on the chart.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.10232

Invalidation: 1.109348

USDJPY - H1 Timeframe

On the hourly timeframe of USDJPY, I have a similar see price currently inching towards the demand zone. This particular scenario is quite beautiful, seeing how it presents a myriad of confirmations. As seen, the trendline support, demand zone, Fibonacci levels, and even the 200-period moving average are all in favour of bullish sentiment.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 145.250

Invalidation: 143.363
