The bearish wave that started by the mid of the last week is finding support around 0.7906, the 50% Fibonacci level and the trend line. The price already broke out the support around 0.7923, the 50 SMA.
The price is expected to start the second bullish wave around 50% fib level ahead of 0.7850, the psychological number and then the 61.8% fib level. The 50 SMA and 100 SMA are also getting closer that shows the market is preparing for the potential rebound.
