The stagnation caused by local overheating of short positions may lead to a regrouping of trading forces. In this case, holding the price below the value of 1.0420 in a four-hour period may strengthen the downward move towards the support level of 1.0350.
In this situation, the area of the passed level 1.2155 can play the role of resistance, increasing the downward interest. A signal of a further increase in short positions is expected after the price holds below 1.2100 in a four-hour period. In this case, sellers will have a chance to move towards the psychological level of 1.2000.
