Yesterday, the players on the upside were able to realize their advantage, which appeared on the eve. As a result of this, they tested an important resistance located at 1.1145 (weekly Kijun + monthly Tenkan) again. However, this pair has not previously allowed a reversal of trends. If the bulls will be more successful this time, then after breaking through the resistance encountered, the question will arise about the elimination of the weekly cross (1.1208 Fibo Kijun) and the rise to the monthly cloud (1.1254 Senkou Span A). Today, the support zone retains its significance and location. Its basis is a daily cloud (1.1080 - 1.1030), strengthened by a daily cross and weekly levels.

Yesterday, on H1, players on the downside failed to reverse the weekly long-term trend. As a result, the benefits and potentials today are on the side of the players on the upside again. Meanwhile, the upward reference points within the day are the resistance of the classic Pivot levels 1.3235 - 1.3278 - 1.3343. Today, key support is concentrated in the area of 1.3157-70 (central Pivot level + weekly long-term trend). A secure anchorage below will swing the scales in the direction of players on the downside.
