There was not directed activity yesterday. The interest in the pound was expressed in the early trading, perhaps on the reports that the real estate market once again recorded the prices increase.

It is necessary to break 1.5020-1.5040 to test the level of 1.4970-1.4990. The overall situation remains the same: the downtrend is still in force and the pound needs to rise up and consolidate above 1.5280-1.5300 in order to weaken the bearish impulse.

The Japanese yen has strengthened against the dollar at the beginning of the session, but the movement was fleeting. Already in the middle of the Asian session the yen started to decline that was observed during the day. There is increase in the Japan stock market – today the Nikkei rose by 2.07%. The US dollar with the Japanese yen is slowly but surely moving upwards. The pair rose to 118.15-118.35, then it broke through this level upwards.

Trading recommendations

The return above the 118th figures can signal about the uptrend resumption and involves the 119th figure testing. In case of its breakthrough bulls will have to compete for the 120th figure, its growth and ability to consolidate above the level will jeopardize the maximum breakthrough of 121.85.
