Technically, sellers attack an upward sloping trend line from November 13, as well as 200-HMA.
Considering the risk-off mood joining the bearish MACD, the quote is likely to stay tilted towards the south, by breaking immediate supports around 0.7290/85.
Following that, an area including the last Thursday’s high and the previous day’s low near 0.7270 can entertain the traders ahead of directing them towards 0.7220.
Meanwhile, 0.7300 round-figures and the recent high around 0.7330 can probe the quote’s short-term bounce ahead of highlighting the 0.7340/45 area comprising the highs marked since mid-September.
