Daily studies maintain strong negative momentum and MA’s are in full bearish setup, contributing to negative near-term outlook, though bears may face headwinds as stochastic is entering oversold territory, (signal is already developing on hourly and 4-h charts).
Upticks should be capped at 1.2150/70 zone to keep bears intact and offer better selling opportunities.
Caution on extension and close above 1.2200 zone which would sideline immediate bears.
