According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at Fxstreet.com: “Technical readings both in the 1 and the 4 hours chart stand in negative territory, and there are no signs of a bottom around. A break below 1.5440 immediate support should favor a test of 1.5400 area, while once below this last, 1.5260 seems achievable in the upcoming sessions,” Valeria remarks, while for FXMarketAlerts Team: “current recovery should provide better entry levels for bears so long stronger resistance at 1.5549 is not violated. Below 1.5438, bears eyeing next support at 1.5414 then 1.5393,” the analysts say.

For Valeria, support levels are found at: 1.5440, 1.5400 and 1.5370, while resistance levels at: 1.5480, 1.5510 and 1.5535.
