Fresh weakness surged through Fibo support at 1.1259 (38.2% of 1.1116/1.1347) and cracked 50% retracement at 1.1231, approaching key support zone between 1.1218/04 (converged 20/55/30SMA/daily cloud base/Fibo 61.8% of 1.1116/1.1347). Weaker daily techs on south-heading momentum/stochastic/RSI support scenario, with close below daily cloud base, needed to confirm double-top at 1.1347/43 (7/12 June high).
