Technically, the hourly chart maintains a clear bearish tone, with price developing below its moving averages, all heading lower, and momentum still heading south despite near oversold levels. In the 4 hours chart indicators seem slightly exhausted to the downside, suggesting a probable upward correction: above 1.3440, the pair mat extend up to 1.3475, yet gains beyond this last are not likely. A break below 1.3410 on the other hand, should only accelerate the slide.
