Ichimoku cloud analysis: EUR/USD, XAU/USD, AUD/USD

EUR/USD, “Euro vs US Dollar”

EUR/USD is testing the upper boundary of the descending channel. The pair is going inside the Ichimoku Cloud, which suggests a sideways movement. A test of the Tenkan-Sen line at 1.0705 is expected, followed by a rise to 1.0855. A rebound from the lower boundary of the bullish channel will signal the price rise. The scenario can be cancelled by a breakout of the lower boundary of the Cloud, with the price securing below 1.0605, indicating a further decline to 1.0515. Meanwhile, the rise could be confirmed by a breakout of the upper boundary of the bearish channel, with the price finding a foothold above 1.0750.
