Technical summary:

We saw a test of strong short-term resistance at 1.6405 (the high was at 1.6406) yesterday, and it is currently heading to the important neckline support near 1.6233. A break below the neckline support at 1.6233 and confirmed by a break below 1.6219 will accelerate the downside pressure for a decline towards 1.6071 and 1.5872 (the 61.8% retracement of wave 1 or A). However, until we have a clear break below 1.6233, we are locked in this messy and hard-to-read consolidation, which has become the area of the tuck of war between the bulls and the bears. 

Only a break above the resistance at 1.6406 will ease the downside pressure for a rally towards the opposite neckline resistance near 1.6500, and if broken, it will call for a important bottom being in place and a new major rally back towards 1.7274 and higher.

Trading recommendation:

Stay short from 1.6255 and move your stop lower to 1.6360.
