UK GDP slowed to 0.4% from 1.9% in the fourth quarter although came slightly better than expected.

Moving down, EUR/USD hit a new low, and the corrective move went on from the high of the medium-term trend.

Alternatively, if the downtrend cycle slows, the price may retrace and come to a standstill.
Traders will focus on the 1.2000 level. Due to price swings on February 6-7, selling volumes decreased. The 1.2000 mark also serves as support.
We may see a bearish continuation if the price consolidates below 1.1950 in the daily time frame.
The candlestick chart shows graphical white and black rectangles with upward and downward lines. While conducting a detailed analysis of each individual candlestick, it is possible to notice its features intrinsic to a particular time frame: the opening price, the closing price, and the highest and lowest price.
Horizontal levels are price levels, in relation to which a stop or reversal of the price may occur. They are called support and resistance levels.
Circles and rectangles are highlighted examples where the price reversed in the course of its history. This color highlighting indicates horizontal lines which can exert pressure on prices in the future.
Upward/downward arrows signal a possible future price direction.
