EUR/USD and GBP/USD: Technical analysis for November 1

EUR/USD

Higher Timeframes

October closed with a candle of uncertainty. The market continues to operate within the range of daily levels, with the center of attraction being the medium-term trend (1.0572). At the start of the new trading month, minor adjustments to the Ichimoku indicator on the monthly timeframe led to the strengthening of the current weekly resistance zone (1.0628 - 1.0653) by the monthly medium-term trend (1.0614). As a result, the immediate objectives for bullish players, at the moment, are breaking through resistance levels (1.0614-28-53), updating the high (1.0695), and entering the daily cloud.

In the current situation, bearish players' prospects are focused on breaking through supports at 1.0500 - 1.0449 (the daily target level + the low) and declining towards the final level of the monthly Ichimoku cross (1.0360) and the lower boundary of the weekly cloud (1.0317).

H4 – H1

On the lower timeframes, there is also uncertainty in the past few hours. The market is hovering around the attraction zone of the weekly long-term trend (1.0578). The moving average is currently in a nearly horizontal position, confirming the balance of power. In the event of bearish activity and a strengthening of their sentiments, attention will be on passing through the supports of the classic pivot points (1.0530 - 1.0486 - 1.0413). If bulls restore their positions, their interests will shift towards breaking through the resistances of the classic pivot points (1.0603 - 1.0647 - 1.0720 - 1.0764).

GBP/USD

Higher Timeframes

October did not provide clear support to any market players. The pair continues to consolidate around the upper boundary of the weekly cloud (1.2097). Most likely, the pound has decided to enter the weekly cloud in a sideways movement while utilizing the support of the monthly medium-term trend (1.2094). Only directed movement can change the situation. For bullish players, it is still important to overcome the attraction of the daily cross levels (1.2151 - 1.2178 - 1.2186 - 1.2221) and secure the support of the weekly short-term trend (1.2339). For bears, it is necessary to break free from the attraction of levels 1.2094 - 1.2097 and restore the downward trend (1.2036) to continue the decline.

H4 – H1

On the lower timeframes, the market is in a state of uncertainty and attraction to key levels, which are currently converging in the 1.2154-30 range (central pivot point + weekly long-term trend). Trading below these key levels will favor the development of bearish sentiments. Intraday bearish targets today are at 1.2108 - 1.2073 - 1.2027 (classic pivot points). Trading above these key levels will contribute to the strengthening of bullish positions. Intraday bullish targets can be noted at 1.2189 - 1.2235 - 1.2270 (resistances of the classic pivot points).

***

The technical analysis of the situation uses:

Higher timeframes - Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (9.26.52) + Fibo Kijun levels

Lower timeframes - H1 - Pivot Points (classic) + Moving Average 120 (weekly long-term trend)
