Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet explained, " In the 4 hours chart, the price remains below a bearish 20 SMA, now around 0.7560, while the technical indicators aim higher below their mid-lines, all of which limits chances of a steeper rally as long as the price remains below this last." Meanwhile, on continued downside, the 0.7480 is a key support below the 100 4hr sma at 0.7503. A break here exposes 16th March lows at 0.7415.
