Prices consistently sliding below DMAs on daily and SMAs on weekly terms, now testing support at 0.8305, the break below can drag upto 0.8186.

While stochastic curves have halted in oversold territory but no traces of %K crossover, for now, it appears to be indecisive but bearish bias.

MACD – this lagging indicator has just slid below zero level on daily chart and evidence bearish crossover that signals the bearish trend to prolong.

While on a broader perspective, breaks below major supports (0.8873, 0.8620, and heading for 0.8086 level, SMAs on verge of bearish crossover, bearish convergence on leading & lagging indicators and Shooting star at 0.900 to evidence more slumps in the weeks to come.
