EURUSD, GBPUSD without strength for more concrete growth

Looking at the daily time frame chart, we see that the EURUSD pair found current support on the 20-day and 50-day moving averages with a 23.6% Fibonacci level at 1.18000. If support continues with positive consolidation continuing on the bullish side, the next resistance awaits us at 38.2% Fibonacci level at 1.18940, in place of the previous two highs that failed to continue on the bullish side. The main target of this potential bullish pullback is our 200-day moving average at 1.20000 and 50.0% Fibonacci level. For the bearish scenario, we expect the price to fall below the current support zone to go down to the previous low of 1.16640, and before that, we could find potential support at 1.175000.

GBPUSD chart analysis

Looking at the chart on the daily time frame, we are in a bullish trend after yesterday’s turbulent and indecisive day today. The GBPUSD pair found support at 50.0% Fibonacci level at 1.37900 with the additional support of the 20-day and 50-day moving average. Now we need a break above the 200-day moving average and 61.8% Fibonacci level at 1.18360. The continuation above us leads to the next resistance at 1.39000. In contrast, for the bearish trend, we need a price withdrawal below 50.0% Fibonacci level. After that withdrawal, the first following support is at 38.2% Fibonacci level at 1.37500.
