  • Momentum studies are bearish on daily charts and we see scope for test of channel base at 109.30.
     
  • Violation at channel base would open doors for a steeper slide towards 108.80 (June low).
     
  • Price has broken below weekly 50-DMA at 110.42 and 38.2% Fib retrace of 98.787 to 118.662 rally at 111.07.
     
  • Bearish invalidation only on decisive breakout above weekly 20-DMA at 111.25.
