On daily charts, we see stiff resistance at 3.1950 levels where the pair has shown a convincing supply zone in the recent history.
Shooting star has appeared at 3.1761 levels pulling back from highs of 3.2140 after bears surpassing this stiff resistance to plummets prices below 7DMAs. However, this week it has managed to test support at 21EMAs to bounce back again but upswings are restrained at the same resistance levels.
Both leading oscillators (RSI and stochastic curves) have indecisiveness but indicate losing strength in previous rallies, historically it has shown the faded strength at the same levels.
Whereas MACD signals upswings to prolong further if the ongoing rallies manage to break out above mentioned resistance level.
On a broader perspective, we see the major trend has turned into corrective modes for more than one and a half years.
Ever since shooting star has occurred at peaks of uptrend at 4.0093 levels it has tumbled retrace more than 23.6% Fibonacci levels.
Thereafter, when prices slid below EMAs it has managed to retrace below 38.2% Fibonacci levels again. Most importantly, whenever it showed the stern bearish effects to cross the significant Fibonacci levels the bearish candles with big real bodies have popped up that is in conformity to the weakness in the trend.
RSI on this timeframe has evidenced downward convergence that signals no strength in rallies.
While MACD indicates downtrend to prolong further but remains in bullish trajectory.
Overall, current prices are lingering at 38.2% Fibonacci levels which are just 50 pips away from above mentioned stiff resistance levels. Hence, we conclude by saying if bulls manage to break out this pivot levels then the ongoing rallies may like to extend further, otherwise failure swings can resume southward travel upto 2.8891 levels (i.e. next strong supports at 50% Fibonacci level).
