As illustrated, the price is attempting to rally from the trendline support within the rising channel.

As illustrated, the price has met the M-formation's neckline which would be expected to act as resistance. This also has a confluence with the 50% mean reversion of the weekly bearish impulse. 0.7150 support is key in guarding against a downside continuation towards and through the weekly lows of 0.6995.

Should the bears have already gathered enough sell liquidity, then the price can easily deteriorate from here which leaves the 61.8% Fibo as the last defence ahead of a restest of the hourly lows at the dynamic trendline support near 0.7180. If that breaks, then sell stops around 0.7150 could be quickly tested exposing 0.71 the figure for a test in the coming days.
