The EURUSD currency pair slowed down its downward course, which led to a pullback from the 1.0800/1.0835 support area, and then to a price stagnation. Despite the local reduction in the volume of short positions, the downward interest remains in the market. This is indicated by the almost complete recovery of the price relative to the recent corrective move.

The signal about the prolongation of the medium-term downward trend will come from the market at the moment the price holds below the level of 1.0800 for at least a four-hour period. Until then, fluctuations are possible, where the value of 1.0935 serves as a variable resistance. The signal about the transition from the initial pullback to the correction stage from the support area will be considered by traders if the price holds above 1.0940 in a four-hour period. This move could push the quote towards the psychological level of 1.1000.
In this situation, the price stagnation of 1.3000/1.3050 serves as an accumulation of trading forces, where traders consider two possible scenarios at once. The first scenario is based on the method of rebounding the price from an important level, where holding the quote above 1.3055 may indicate local interest in buying the pound sterling. The second scenario considers the prolongation of the medium-term trend, where at the beginning there may be an acceleration of the price towards the lower deviation of the psychological level, this is the value of 1.2950. After holding the price below 1.2950 in a four-hour period, there will be a signal about the prolongation of the downward trend.
