The pair in the recent past has formed back-to-back shooting star patterns at 1.2303, 1.2287, 1.2320, 1.2329 & 1.2285 levels and hanging man patterns at 1.2316 levels on weekly plotting. The intermediate trend that was oscillating between the tight range of 1.2223 and 1.2545 levels but for now, bears have managed to break below this range with bearish EMA & MACD crossovers (refer weekly chart).
Well, the current price slides way below 21EMA on this timeframe despite today’s rallies, both leading oscillators signal weakness and the lagging indicators indicate downswings to prolong further.
RSI and stochastic curves have shown downward convergence that indicates the strength and intensified bearish momentum on weekly terms.
