- After testing daily highs in the vicinity of the key 200-hour SMA near 1.1630, spot is now fading the move on a pick up in the sentiment around the greenback. This area of resistance is reinforced by the 10-day SMA and the bottom of the former pennant pattern, which can be viewed as a short-term resistance line.
- Initial support has so far emerged at the 100-hour SMA in the 1.1585/80 band. A break below this level should open the door for a re-visit to Monday’s low at 1.1530.
- Looking at the broader picture, the pair should remain offered while below the 1.1745/50 band, allowing for a potential test of YTD lows in the 1.1500 neighbourhood, and possibly below.
