AUDUSD

The AUDUSD is trading at 0.7100, above the Ichimoku cloud, which means there's an uptrend forming. We are expecting a test of the upper cloud boundary at 0.7085, and then a downward pullback to 0.7145, which may be confirmed with the price bouncing off the support area. This rise may be prevented in case price breaks out the lower boundary of the Ichimoku cloud and closes below 0.7075, which will be a signal for a further fall to 0.6985 and below.

NZDUSD

The NZDUSD is trading at 0.6858, above the Ichimoku cloud, which means there's an uptrend forming. We are expecting a test of the upper cloud boundary at 0.6835, and then a downward pullback to 0.6940, which may be confirmed with the price bouncing off the support area. The rise may be prevented in case price breaks out the lower boundary and closes below 0.6800, which will be a signal for a further fall to 0.6720.

USDCAD

The USDCAD is trading at 1.3332, above the Ichimoku cloud, which means there's an uptrend forming. We expect a test of the lower cloud boundary at 1.3325, and then an upward pullback to 1.3415, which may be confirmed with the price bouncing off the support area. This rise may be prevented in case price breaks out the lower boundary and closes below 1.3305, which will be a signal for a further fall to 1.3205.
