Key Quotes

“The pair managed to sustain above 1.5348 (76.4% Fib R of June rally) after the RSI hit the oversold region in the hourly and 4-hour chart. The bullish RSI divergence on the hourly chart could help the spot recover to 1.5424 (hourly 50-MA). However, only an hourly close above 1.5408 (38.2% Fib R of Apr-Jun rally), would open doors for 1.5460 (61.8% Fib of June rally).”

“On the other hand, a failure to take out and sustain above 1.5408 could bring in fresh offers and push the spot lower to 1.5560-1.5550.”
