“¢ After yesterday’s brief pause, the pair came under some renewed selling pressure and tumbled to sub-0.6800 level, or over two-week lows in the last hour.
“¢ The pair’s inability to move back above 100-hour SMA was seen as one of the key factors prompting some aggressive long-unwinding trade on Friday.
“¢ A sustained weakness below 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the 0.6424-0.6970 recent recovery move further acted as a key trigger for bearish traders.
“¢ Technical indicators on hourly charts are already pointing to oversold conditions and thus, warrant some near-term consolidation/minor pull-back.
“¢ However, oscillators on the daily chart have just started gaining negative momentum and suggest that any meaningful bounce is likely to get sold into.
“¢ The set-up favours an extension of the intraday downfall towards 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level en-route the 0.6700 handle ahead of the US macro data.
