Trading activity and volatility won’t be very high today. This is due to holidays in the US and UK. I’ll open short-term speculative positions. I’ve identified the following key levels for EUR/USD:
Support – 1.1160
Resistance - 1.1185, 1.1210
USD/JPY
Support — 111.15, 110.90
Resistance — 111.40, 111.65
Potential movement — to the nearest s&r levels. I’ll use a trailing stop for these positions.
Bears are dominating on EUR/USD now. The euro has lost more than 50 points during the Asian trading session. I’ll open deals in the current trend direction. I plan to wait for a correction to 1.1160-1.1175. I’m going to open short positions, if the price reaches this zone. Potential movement - to 1.1110-1.1080.
My favorite reversal formation is the divergence of the price and the MACD histogram as I'm pretty good at working with it. Such a situation has formed on NZD/USD (timeframe N1). I plan to open short positions here. I’ll sell after the price fixes below the 0.7040 support level. The goal for fixing profits is the 0.7000 round level. Signals for opening a position may appear during several days.
I can identify the following key levels on USD/JPY:
Support — 110.70

It seems to me that the demand for safe assets can grow in the nearest future. It is rather difficult to predict what the report on the US labor market will be like on June 2, since the latest statistics from the United States was ambiguous. Also, the political risks in Britain are growing.
I’ll sell USD/JPY if the price fixes below 110.70. Potential movement - to 110.30. I’ll use a trailing stop for this position.
The bearish sentiment prevails on GBP/USD. I plan to open deals in the current trend direction. I’ll think of selling it after the price fixes below 1.2770 (a local extremum). The target level of movement is the 1.2700 round level. I’ll also use a trailing stop here.

The divergence on NZD/USD has continued. There may be a correction in the near future. I plan to sell, if the price fixes below the 0.7070 support level. Confirmations and entry points to the market should be found on junior timeframes. Potential movement - to the 0.7000 round level. I’ll use a trailing stop for tracking the position. This transaction will be medium-term.
The statistics on the US labor market is in focus today. The most of experts expect the worsening of indicators. I’m not going to trade today but will watch the market carefully.
Yesterday's preliminary report from ADP and business activity in the US manufacturing sector turned out to be positive. It seems to me that today’s statistics will be quite strong and may exceed all market expectations. It may strengthen the dollar's position in the nearest future. Nevertheless, I’ll be back to trading only the next week.

There will be parliamentary elections in the UK tomorrow. GBP/USD will likely be in flat all the time before the results announcements. I’ve identified the following trading range: 1.2800-1.2925 and plan to wait until the elections are over. I’ll open positions from the key levels. There may be strong trend movements in the nearest future. So I’ll try to reduce the risk for that deal.
