The ongoing pullback is still present in the market, which is why traders are considering a scenario of movement towards the level of 1.0800. The further course of events will depend on the price behavior near this level: whether sellers can keep the quote below it, or the level will be used as support.
At the moment, the pullback has already exceeded +100 points from the level of 1.2500. In case of maintaining a downward trend during the pullback, further decline to the support level of 1.2350 is possible. Further movement will also be influenced by the price near the control level of 1.2350.
