Key Quotes:
“Short term, the pair is favored towards the downside, as in the 1 hour chart, the price is now below its 100 SMA, while the technical indicators aim slightly higher, but below their mid-lines, indicating no certain strength at the time being.
In the 4 hours chart, the pair is near the base of its latest range, a major static support at 133.30, while the RSI indicator turned south around 56 and the Momentum indicator stands flat around its 100 level, all of which fails to suggest a clear directional bias, but maintains the risk towards the downside.”
