Prior analysis, daily chart

Bears have been monitoring for a shorting opportunity from within the build-up of lower highs within the daily correction that had been losing momentum in prior sessions.

''First, the 4-hour support of 1.1920 needs to give first, breaking the 4-hour dynamic supporting line.''

Prior 4-hour analysis, critical support

''While the support holds, there is still a high probability that the price will remain contained between there and resistance in a sideways channel. 

However, on the break of support, the bias falls heavily into the bear's hands for a downside extension.''

On the break of the 4-hour support, the zone will now be expected to act as resistance and so far it has.

Corrections are stalling below and thus forming a new bearish structure and confirmed resistance between 1.1912/23.
