Now see the pair has tumbled from the previous month highs of 1.3658 to the current 1.3129 levels, since then the above hedging advice would have arrested these FX loses smartly, rest is history.

For now, the pair has been hampering every upward movements by the occurrence of the shooting star and railroad patterns at 1.3283 and 1.3151 levels respectively. Consequently, the bears manage to evidence slumps below DMAs, while both leading & lagging oscillators have been in bears' favor (refer daily charts).

Last month, although bulls have attempted to extend rallies above falling wedge resistance but could not sustain above 21-EMAs, as a result, the major trend seems to be resumed again in falling wedge.

Both leading oscillators seem to be in bears’ favor, RSI constantly evidences downward convergence to signal the strength in bearish rallies (on dailies). While stochastic curves have been slightly indecisive on monthly but show downward convergence to the price dips that signals intensified selling momentum (on daily terms).

On the other hand, lagging oscillators are also in sync with the same bearish stance offered by the leading indicators. MACD indicates the price slumps to prolong further, while the current prices remain below DMAs with bearish DMA crossover.

The consolidation phase turns into bearish again, the major trend restrained below 21-EMA.

Well, the overall minor trend is weaker for sure, while the consolidation phase in the major trend seems to be edgy.

FxWirePro's currency strength index for the dollar ahead of quarterly GDP of the U has been extremely weaker 62 (bullish), while GBP has been mildly bullish by flashing +23 for the day.
