Looking at the 4-hours chart, the pair declined below the 1.1350 and 1.1300 levels. There was a clear move below a key bullish trend line with support at 1.1175. The pair declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.0335 swing low to 1.1495 high.
The pair settled below the 1.1200 level, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours).
