“Sellers has been defending the 1.3700/10 area since the month started, and considering some profit taking is likely today, the pair won’t have it easy to break higher.”
“As for the technical picture, the 4 hours chart shows price steadied above a bullish 20 SMA, while indicators are giving some signs of exhaustion in overbought territory, pointing for some further downward corrections.”

“A break below 1.3660 recent low, should see the pair extending its slide towards 1.3620 area, where 200 EMA in the mentioned time frame should provide some intraday support. Further downside accelerations below 1.3610 should see a continued bearish pressure, eyeing then the 1.3550 price zone.”

“Steady gains above 1.3720 are what it takes to deny the downside, and see the pair attempting rallying towards 1.3750 price zone.”
