An incredible consolidation has formed in recent days but there is still a slight bearish bias to proceedings which is again threatening to show through this morning. The past three completed sessions have all been very settled as the momentum indicators have plateaued. The resistance continues to be formed under $1.5000 and the 21 day moving average is a key indicator now in this consolidation as it remains a basis of resistance (currently falling around $1.4975). The intraday chart reflects this consolidation even more with the hourly moving averages flat and choppy trading in the past few days. If the support around $1.4800 is holding it becomes possible to play the classic RSI signals on the hourly chart, buying between 30/25 and selling between 65/70. A decisive breach of support at $1.4800 would re-engage the sellers and open a retest of $1.4685.
