James Chen, Chief Analyst at FX Solutions, comments: “Currently, price has consolidated near the upper border of this bearish channel. A key event to watch for would be a breakdown of the short-term uptrend support line which is currently running counter to the prevailing trend, and which potentially represents a correction/consolidation within the overall downtrend. In the event of a substantial breakdown below this short-term uptrend line, a key downside support target resides around the 91.75 price region, which was triple-tested in early July before the pair made a significant bullish run. In the opposite event of a breakout above the current parallel downtrend channel, several upside resistance targets are in focus, including the 95.30 price region.”
