The breakdown of the daily cross will lead to the strengthening of the bears and will open the way to the next support lines located in the region of 1.0727-78 (minimum extremum + historical level).

On H1, the players to decline went down to the key support, which determines the balance of power.

If the test ends with the return and consolidation of the pair above the key H1 levels of 1.0905-26 (weekly long-term trend + central Pivot level), then the players to rise can regain important support, begin to form a rebound from the support of upper times, realizing the potential of last week and month.
