As the greenback met renewed selling interest at 112.72 earlier and has retreated, retaining our bearishness and consolidation with downside bias remains for another test of indicated support at 111.88 (this week’s low), break there would extend recent decline from 114.74 top to previous support at 111.65, below there would bring further fall to 111.45-50, however, near term oversold condition should limit downside and reckon 111.00-05 would hold from here.
In view of this, we are holding on to our short position entered at 112.60. Above said resistance at 112.72 would risk test of previous support at 113.09 but only break there would abort and signal low is formed instead, bring a stronger rebound to 113.33 resistance first.
