The bears have moved into the kill for the 1.3750s. This is an area of imbalance that is being mitigated at the time of writing with bears pouncing from 1.3800 structure. If this area of support were to give, then 1.3700/20 will be the next reasonable target given the point of control.

However, the daily trendline support should be noted which reinforces 1.3720/50 as support.
