- Stochs and MACD support downside, while RSI seems flat with neutral bias.
- Downside finds strong support by 20-DMA at 0.7911, we see weakness on decisive break below.
- Break below 0.79 could see drag lower. Scope then for test of 0.78 level (38.2% Fib).
- On the upside, major resistance seen at weekly 200-SMA at 0.7992. Resumption of upside only on close above.
Support levels - 0.7911 (20-DMA), 0.7902 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.73728 to 0.80656 rally), 0.7875 (July 21 low), 0.7801 (38.2% Fib)
