The EUR/USD pair approached the lower limit of the lateral amplitude of 1.1265/1.1355, where the volume of short positions decreased on a regular basis. This led to a local slowdown of the downward cycle. On the daily chart, there is a downward trend with a scale of 1000 points. The current correction and flat did not violate the clock component of the trend. Following its European counterpart, the GBP/USD pair continues to move in the sideways channel 1.3200/1.3290, consistently working out the set borders. This indicates a process of accumulation of trading forces, which, as a result, will lead to a natural acceleration in the market.
