Technical analysis recommendations for EUR / USD and GBP / USD on August 14

EUR / USD

Closing of the week is approaching. The pair remains within the range of last week's movement, thus maintaining uncertainty. The center of attraction and influence throughout the week is working at levels that have combined their efforts in the region of 1.1813 - 1.1740 - 1.1695 (worked out weekly target + monthly Senkou Span A + daily Tenkan). The conclusions and expectations voiced earlier remain the same, as they remain relevant. Perhaps, with the beginning of a new week, new opportunities and circumstances will appear.

The uncertainty of the upper halves and the lack of clear preferences for the lower halves is a lifetime, with its own sequence of minimums and maximums, advantages and pivots, but the effectiveness of these movements is very weak. At the moment, on H1, bullish players retain the advantages and support of the analyzed technical instruments. The pair is now in the zone of attraction of the central pivot level (1.1819). On the other hand, resistances within the day are the classic Pivot levels (1.1858 - 1.1902 - 1.1941). If the decline continues, the interests of the players for an increase will further defend the support of the weekly long term trend (1.1782), which is strengthened today by S1 (1.1775). Anchoring below will swing the scales on H1 in favor of the bears. The next targets of the day will be S2 (1.1736) and S3 (1.1692).
