The GBP/USD rose above 1.32 on Wednesday after European Union Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier signaled progress on a deal with Britain over its withdrawal from the bloc, as well as on the crucial Irish border question. Our long position reached its target.
Tuesday's EUR/USD candlestick line hints at a rejection of the downside. We keep our bullish view with long opened at 1.1530.

EUR/USD
Trading strategy: Long
Open: 1.1530
Target: 1.1750
Stop-loss: 1.1430
Recommended size: 1.50 mini lots per $10,000 in your account
Short analysis: EUR/USD could be gearing up for another assault on the daily cloud, which now spans 1.1546-75, as the long tail on Tuesday's candlestick line hints at a rejection of the downside. The fact that the market found support ahead of the 1.1422 Fibo level, a 76.4% retrace of the 1.1301 to 1.1815 (August to September) rise, adds to the odds of a full blown recovery. We remain long.

Short analysis: USD/JPY traders seem to be building ahead of the key 112.73 Fibo, a 38.2% retrace of the 109.78 to 114.55 (August to October) rise, with today's low being registered at the 21-day moving average, which is now at 112.93. Tenkan and kijun lines are positively aligned, reinforcing the overall upside bias. Bulls need a break above Tuesday's high to be confident of a recovery.
USD/CAD
Trading strategy: Short
Open: 1.2950
Target: 1.2700
Stop-loss: 1.3075
Recommended size: 1.54 mini lots per $10,000 in your account
Short analysis: The CAD edged lower against the USD on Wednesday as oil prices fell and U.S. Treasury yields climbed toward multiyear peaks. The nearest resistance level is 55-day moving average (1.3019). We remain short, as upcoming BoC interest rate hike should support the loonie.
Trading strategy: Await signal
Open: -
Target: -
Stop-loss: -
Recommended size: -
Short analysis: The AUD/USD will probably fail to close above 7-day exponential moving average today. Monthly RSI remains biased down and the pair holds below the 76.4% Fibo of the 2016-18 rally. Signals are a bit mixed so we will stand aside for now.
Trading strategy: Await signal
Open: -
Target: -
Stop-loss: -
Recommended size: -
Short analysis: Another trend low below the lower 30-day moving average Bolli. Bearish daily momentum is increasing but stochs looking to turn higher from o/s levels. We stand aside.
