Trading Outlook:

The bulls are temporary in control of the market and the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the last big wave down located at 1.2293 had been tested, so a down trend resumption is possible. On the other hand, the level of 1.0351 has not been tested since 1985, so the down trend is strong. In order to terminate the down trend, bulls need to close the weekly candle above the level of 1.2275 (swing high from August 10th).
