Key Quotes
“The downtrend definitely remains in place and the style of bounces off 0.8850 is indicative
of corrective squeezes.”
“0.9050-60 now needs to hold to allow for a retest of the relatively pivotal 0.9300 area, if not waning potential of a standard move to 0.9500.”
“Further signs of faltering must be adequately acknowledged as they could signal a swift return to the downtrend and renewed slippage towards the 0.8550-0.8675 area.”
“After testing broad consolidation channel support (at 0.8840-50) the potential turn in momentum (RSI already turning) could induce further interim corrections of the fall from the tight range seen into May.”
“The standard target lies at 0.9500, but, as noted, failure to breach 0.9300 would keep the
broader downtrend in play for an early test of 0.8550-0.8675.”
