TECHNICALS
The EURUSD pair broke below a long-term trendline on the daily chart following the FOMC meeting, with the correction losing steam at the broken trendline, which now acts as resistance.
The 1-hour chart shows a push below a short-term trendline in a pattern that resembles a bearish wedge, signaling further weakness.
Volume:
The daily bars that form that corrective move occurred on lower volume. The strong bearish candlestick on the 1-hour chart that formed today (high volume), as well as the following bullish 1-hour candlesticks (high volume but weak movement) are a bearish signal for the pair.
