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.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
