EURUSD
Moving on to the EURUSD chart, we can see that the main currency pair has been trading in a downward trend recently. However, looking at the H4 interval, a potential ABC correction can be spotted on the chart (pattern began to form at the beginning of the 2021). If buyers manage to regain control at the 1.17 or 1.16 support, the nearest resistance to watch lies at 1.19 and is marked with the previous price reactions as well as 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. On the other hand, should buyers give up control and the price breaks below the 1.16 handle, the downward move may accelerate.
