Price Action Analysis- H1 Chart

The H1 chart shows that the price has been up trending by obeying a trend line. In fact, several trend line’s have been working as support. It looks good for the buyers. However, considering the major charts’ resistance, the pair may get sluggish. The chart shows that the price has been having consolidation for some hours. Buyers must wait for a bullish reversal pattern at the value areas to find long opportunities.

On the contrary, the sellers may wait for the price to breach trend line’s support to go short in the pair. Since the trend line’s support has some space, so it may take time to make a breakout there.

Considering both charts, according to price action, it looks good for the buyers. However, massive resistance on the major charts may turn things around. Thus, we may see that the pair gets sluggish despite having a strong bullish trend on those two charts.
