The pair remains range-bound below 1.1600, failing to hold above the psychological barrier.
Technical outlook
- Structure/SMAs: A break below the prior ascending channel plus SMAs turning overhead shifts bias lower.
- Momentum: Indicators are starting to lean bearish, consistent with fading upside.
Base case (bearish trigger)
- A decisive break/4H close below 1.1580 would likely open 1.1550, then 1.1520.
Alternative / upside toggle
- Reclaiming and holding above 1.1600, and more convincingly 1.1620, would put a recovery toward 1.1670 back on the table.
Event risk
- FOMC minutes today could spark volatility; consider tighter risk controls around the release.
Risk note
Headline risk is elevated. Use prudent sizing and firm stops; reassess quickly if trigger levels give way.
