On the daily chart, the pair is consolidating near the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7757. If price breaks below the mentioned level, then the next stop for it would be the 0.7720 horizontal support level followed by Thursday’s low at 0.7687.

The receding Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator signals at more downside price action towards the 0.7650 horizontal support level.
