The technical support is broken, more downside is expected
Market technical overview:
The GBP/USD pair has broken below the key technical support zone located between the levels of 1.3042 - 1.3055 and has made a new local low at the level of 1.3025. This low has been also made out of the channel lower line, which means the price has broken below it as well.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - 1.3333
WR2 - 1.3261

Weekly Pivot Point - 1.3101
WS1 - 1.2987
WS2 - 1.2928
WS3 - 1.2810
Trading recommendations:
The outlook remains bearish, so only sell orders should be kept open. The first targets seen at the levels of 1.3055 or 1.3042 have been already hit, but if the breakout continues, the sell-off might accelerate to the levels of 1.3012 or 1.3000 before any meaningful bounce occurs.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for 05/02/2019:
The key Fibonacci retracement is violated and the bounces are shallow so far
Market technical overview:
The USD/CAD pair is continuing its way down. The 61% Fibonacci retracement at the level of 1.3119 has been broken and the price has made a new local low at the level of 1.3068. Then the market bounced a little to test the Fibo level once again, but the bearish pressure is getting more visible again. The market might enter a corrective mode now, mainly due to the oversold conditions at the daily and lower time frames, but it will not take long for the price the resume the downtrend again. The key technical resistance is seen at the level of 1.3158 - 1.3164.

Technical analysis for EUR/USD for February 5, 2019
2019-02-05
EUR/USD made no progress yesterday as price moved in a narrow trading range holding above 1.14 support and below 1.15 resistance. Short-term support is being challenged at 1.1430 and this might be a sign of weakness implying a move towards 1.1360 is possible over the coming sessions.

Blue rectangles - short-term support areas
Red line -resistance trend line
Black lines -potential break down move
Short-term support is being challenged early in today's session. A 4-hour close below 1.1430-1.1420 area would push prices to the next support level at 1.14. The chances of breaking below 1.14 will be higher if we see 1.1430-1.1420 broken. This would lead to a deeper pullback at least towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 1.1375 with 1.1355 the most probable target. Support at the 78.6% Fibonacci level is crucial. Breaking below it will increase dramatically the chances of moving below 1.1280.
