Technical picture weakened as 14-d momentum is heading deeper into negative territory and converging daily Tenkan/Kijun-sen are about to form a bear-cross, while next week’s daily cloud twist could also be magnetic (cloud is below the price).
However, near-term action is holding within a range which extends into fourth straight day, with break of range floor (1.2656) and nearby Fibo support and 100DMA (1.2646/39), to generate bearish signal for continuation of the bear-leg from 1.2860 (June 12 spike high) and expose targets at 1.2596/80 (daily cloud top / 200DMA).
Bearish near-term bias expected while the price holds below descending 10DMA (1.2724) while sustained break above 20DMA (1.2742) to put bears on hold.
