As for the short term, the hourly chart shows price around former low of 1.3350, while 20 SMA heads south above current price, offering short term resistance around 1.3380. Indicators corrected oversold readings and head north, although still in negative territory, which suggest more gains are still unlikely.

Lose of the 1.3310 support area, will expose the daily ascendant trend line today around 1.3270.
