My model is short, targeting 1.4865. The pair should maintain a consistent move below key level 1.4975 to keep the bearish continuation intact in the nearest term. Immediate resistance is seen at 1.5030. CCI in oversold area on daily and weekly chart suggesting that the pair bearish move might have exhausted, but just cross 100 line down on monthly chart suggesting a potential bearish view of this month.
