Technical Analysis
As of this writing, the pair is being traded near 1.1160. A hurdle may be noted around 1.1221, the intraday high of Friday ahead of 1.1233, the swing high of the recent upside rally and then 1.1428, the high of the giant Brexit candle which is also acting as a mother candle in the ongoing inside bars trade setup as clearly shown in the given below chart.
On the downside, the pair is likely to find a support around 1.1131, the intraday low of Friday ahead of 1.1100-1.1110, the confluence of the horizontal support and the psychological number. A break and daily closing below the 1.1100 support area shall incite a renewed selling pressure, validating the move towards the 1.0952 support area. The technical bias will remain bearish as long as the 1.1428 resistance area is intact.
