Technically however, the pair is far from suggesting a strong upward potential, with the 1 hour chart showing indicators flat above their midlines and price above a still bearish 20 SMA. In the 4 hours chart indicators maintain their bearish slope despite in oversold levels, supporting the shorter term view.
