Considering previous downswings, despite whipsaws pattern the pair doesn't seem to evidence upswings as a shooting star appeared at 102.403 levels which is bearish in nature.

The trend has been moving in sideways as prices holding stronger at 101.747 levels.

Upside potential in the pair capped at channel resistances of 103.359, we see intraday sentiments are still bearish bias. 

Downside likely to find support at 101.9136 mark (21DMA), a break below could see the retest of recent lows of 100 and below targets. Add fresh shorts below 21DMA as downswings may drag up to channel base.

On a broader perspective, major downtrend still remains intact as the price declines in the sloping channel. However, the downtrend holding stronger at supports of 100.389 with hammer pattern, as a result from last three months trend drifting in sideway.

The prevailing price dips are in conformity to leading & lagging indicators and massive volumes.
