According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at Fxstreet.com: “the hourly chart shows price hovering below the 1.2880 mark, with 20 SMA heading lower currently around 1.2890, while indicators hold below their midlines, giving no signs later bounce may extend higher,” the analyst says, adding: “In the 4 hours chart, technical readings maintain a strong bearish momentum, supporting the shorter term view, with market now eyeing 1.2744, this year low,” she suggests.
