Key Quotes:
"The short term picture for the pair is neutral, given that in the 1 hour chart, technical indicators present sharp bearish slopes within bearish territory, albeit the price is holding its 100 and 200 SMAs, both converging around 113.40/50.
In the 4 hours chart, the price was unable to extend beyond a horizontal 200 SMA, but indicators have resumed their advances within positive territory and after correcting overbought conditions, maintaining the downside limited. A bearish acceleration below 114.00, the 50% retracement of the latest weekly rally, should support a continued decline for this Tuesday, with scope then to return to the 113.00 region."
