Dollar momentum seems temporarily interrupted, with US indexes at record highs and US 10Y yields above 2.40%, giving high yields a breath. 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.

Nevertheless, the pair maintains a bearish tone, at least in the short term, with the hourly chart showing indicators turning back south in negative territory after testing their midlines, and price stuck around an also bearish 20 SMA. In the 4 hours chart the technical stance is also bearish, with 1.6545, April this year low, as critical support to break to see further downward potential.
