On Wednesday's session, the pair landed at 0.8360 with a gain of 0.37%. The cross surged and attempts to recover the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), but momentum is still flat.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 48, which is in the negative area, but its slope is rising sharply, suggesting that buying pressure is recovering. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is flat and green, which suggests that buying pressure is also flat.

In terms of price action, the pair has been trading within a range of 0.8352 and 0.8390. There are support levels at 0.8350, 0.8330, and 0.8315, and resistance levels at 0.8370, 0.8390, and 0.8400. In case the bulls fail to gain the 0.8360-0.8400 area, it might trigger a sharp selling pressure but a consolidation above could fuel a recovery. In the meantime, buying momentum remains subdued.
