Daily chart

Technically, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 35.28, with subdued momentum but deep in negative terrain. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) continues to flash a sell signal, reinforcing the broader downside outlook. Meanwhile, the Bull Bear Power indicator sits neutral at −0.01859, and 10-period Momentum at −0.01851 leans slightly bullish.

The bigger picture remains under pressure. The 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.56571 and 10-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.56787 continue sloping downward. Additionally, the 20-day SMA (0.57184), 100-day SMA (0.57116), and 200-day SMA (0.58985) all support the bearish case, forming a zone of confluence that reinforces the pair’s inability to sustain rebounds.
