Fresh low at 1.4518, barely 3 pips away from 50% retracement of last daily up−leg
FXstreet.com Independent Analyst Team − Fresh low for the pair at 1.4518, barely 3 pips away from the 50% retracement of the last daily up leg, pair is regaining some upside momentum after reaching that strong support, yet looking bearish in bigger time frames. 1.4600, 38.2% of the same rally should keep the upside capped to maintain the bearish perspective, while break under 1.4510 zone would likely trigger some downside acceleration.
