Downward momentum is prevalent

“Daily MACD is anchored in negative territory which denotes downward momentum is prevalent and signals of a rebound are still not visible.” “Overcoming 50-DMA at 0.8560 will be essential for a short-term bounce.”

“Failure to cross the 0.8560 level can result in continuation of decline towards next projections at 0.8400 and February 2020 low of 0.8280.”
