Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• The pair snapped four consecutive days of winning streak and started retreating from the top end of an ascending trend-channel formation on the 1-hourly chart.

• Bears momentarily dragged the pair below an important confluence region near the 1.1300 handle - comprising of the trend-channel support and 50-hour EMA.

• Oscillators on the daily chart maintained their bearish bias and have been losing momentum on the 1-hourly chart, adding credence to the near-term bearish set-up.

• Hence, the emergence of technical selling has the potential to accelerate the intraday bearish trajectory towards 1.1280 intermediate support en-route the 1.1250-40 region.
