Momentum studies: Bias remains bullish on the daily chart with RSI strong at 70, MACD line above the signal line, and major moving averages biased higher. However, the shooting start formation calls for high caution.

Some weakness could be seen on the intraday charts. On the 4h chart, 10-DMA is biased lower and capping the price action, RSI is at 49 and MACD line is below the signal line.

A break below 10-DMA will see further downside in the pair.
