Due to strong selling pressure in February and March USD/SEK went from 6.56 down to 6.33. Nevertheless, in March the currency pair found a tough support level that helped it commence a recovery.

The EUR/JPY pair has been moving sideways since the beginning of this year.

A decline to a three-month low of 100.81 helped the U.S. Dollar to accumulate some strength against the Japanese Yen that resulted in the pair's rally later on.

The first days of summer marked the period of elevated volatility of EUR/SEK.

Following a prolonged rally EUR/CAD encountered a tough resistance area near 1.56 in the mid-March, which forced the currency pair to change its direction. However, there are already signs that the initiated sell-off is gradually subsiding, such as the four-hour technical indicators pointing upwards and the price chart forming a falling wedge—a reversal pattern.

The single European currency has been losing value relative to the British Pound since mid-March; however, early May, the pair decelerated the pace of its decline and entered a 116-bar long triangle pattern. Several hours earlier, EUR/GBP suddenly plunged to a two-year low of 0.8064 but managed to recover all losses shortly after the dip and re-entered the pattern. Now the
An escalation to 1.6995, the highest level since at least 2009, seems to have exhausted GBP/USD potential and provoked a one-month long losing streak. For the last six weeks, the pair has been depreciating inside the area bounded by two downward sloping gradually converging lines. Now the currency couple is headed towards the upper limit of the formation but to
