Around price level of 1.6780, a double-top pattern scenario was established with the neckline located around the price zone of 1.6620-1.6660.

Daily fixation below this price zone enabled the pair to reach 1.6464 (61.8% Fibonacci) as a projection target.

The recently achieved low of 1.6465 (also corresponding to a previous uptrend line) prevented further decline. Yet, the bulls were unable to fix above 1.6630-1.6666 (corresponding to a prominent top established on January 24).

A slide below price zone of 1.6550-1.6535 applies bearish pressure on the pair to pursue towards lower lows around 1.6510 and 1.6470. Otherwise, the uptrend remains intact and the bulls would be targeting at 1.6750-1.6775.

As suggested, the price zone of 1.6666-1.6690 offered a valid sell entry. Stop loss should be lowered to be four-hour closure above 1.6650.

The bears need to achieve a four-hour closure below 1.6600 to push for further lows. However, until now there’s bullish support being offered at 1.6550 ( today’s lowest price level ).

On the other hand, four-hour fixation above 1.6650 will be a signal of weakness of the bears to pursue their downtrend exposing price level of 1.6775 for retesting.
