   “¢   The pair has been oscillating within a downward sloping trading range and has struggled to decisively move back above 50-day SMA barrier.

   “¢   However, even the slightest of disappointment would be enough to prompt some aggressive fresh selling and turn the pair vulnerable to head back towards challenging the key 1.3000 psychological mark.
