The pair continues with the negative pressure, fluctuating around the support level for the ascending channel which structured the upside correction. Accordingly, we hold onto our previous expectations for the trend, were we still believe that the pair will move bearishly over intraday basis today activated with the breach o the support area among 90.15-90.90 then heading to the initial target at 89.00. Stability below 91.80 areas is required for our expectations to remain valid.

The pair strongly breached the crucial support at 1.1480 activating the breach pattern mentioned in our previous report. The breached resistance at 1.1420 is standing against the pair’s movement to acquire the pattern’s targets supported by positive sings on momentum indicators. Therefore, we might witness a retest to the 1.1480 followed by resumption to the intraday downside move expected for today with targets starting from 1.1300 then 1.1250. Note that four-hour closing above 1.1480 fails the suggested bearish patter.

The pair continued the negative pressure on the support for the ascending short term channel at 1.0340 affected by the bearish pattern completed at 1.0510. Sings of a bearish pattern are seen over the bigger pictures, with the neckline at 1.0330, which is why we recommend observing the pair around the critical support area between 1.0340-1.0330, as breaching its area leads the pair towards 1.0100 then 1.000; while if it holds against the pair’s downside move it will protect the short term bullishness.
