Analysis of trading charts from February 17:
The EUR/USD pair slowed down again after a slight rebound from the resistance level of 1.1400. A series of Doji-type candles in a four-hour period indicate a characteristic uncertainty among market participants. These candles and stagnation are highly likely to lead to another acceleration in the market.
Despite the local breakdown of the upper border of the side channel 1.3500/1.3600, the quote is still within its deviation. So, the levels of 1.3480 and 1.3630 serve as signal levels. Holding the price above one of the levels in a four-hour period would signal the end of the flat. Until then, the side channel remains on the market.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on Feb 18:
Judging by the price behavior, traders should pay attention to the borders of the current amplitude 1.1320/1.1400. If we proceed from the process of accumulation of trading forces and Doji candles, then holding the price outside one or another border will lead to a sharp activity surge. This strategy allows traders to enter the market at the start of a momentum.
Let's demonstrate the above-mentioned into trading signals:
Trading plan for GBP/USD on Feb 18:
In this situation, traders are paying special attention to price fluctuations within the upper limit of the flat, as a full-fledged signal to action may appear on the market any minute. The upward movement will be relevant if the price holds above the 1.3630 level in a four-hour period. This step may return traders to the area of the local high on January 13. The downward scenario in the flat structure will be relevant in case of stable price retention below the level of 1.3600.
