Daily studies show weakening bullish momentum and mixed signals other indicators, while formation of pennant pattern on weekly chart still keeps alive hopes for continuation of larger uptrend from 1.1958 (2019 low).
Converged 20/30 DMA’s provide immediate support at 1.2878, followed by more significant higher base at 1.2820 (also Fibo 23.6% of 1.2197/1.3012) and recent range floor at 1.2768 (8 Nov) loss of which would expose pivotal supports at 1.2700 zone (converging 200/55DMA’s / Fibo 38.2%).
Conversely, move above bear-trendline off 1.3012 (currently at 1.2969) would generate initial bullish signal, but extension and close above 1.3012 (21 Oct high) is needed to confirm and signal bullish continuation.
