Key quotes

“The hourly chart shows price hovering around a flat 20 SMA, while indicators stand directionless around their midlines.”

“In the 4 hours chart price stands above 200 EMA currently at 1.6770 and above 20 SMA that presents a nice bullish slope; nevertheless, indicators are losing upward momentum and turned lower, still above their midlines.”

“Risk of a downward movement should increase on a break below 1.6770, while steady gains above 1.6845 are required to confirm renewed strength towards 1.6920 price zone.”
