The pair ascended quickly towards 1.2900 but managed to built its base once again in front of the pair’s attempts to move to the upside due to support from SMA 50, where it reversed to the downside to stabilize below 1.2830; thus, making us hold onto yesterday’s scenario. We expect a bearish intraday direction starting its targets at 1.2730 and then attempt to breach it to pave the way towards targets after reaching 1.2520. It is vital will remain intact below 1.2950 to resume these expectations.
