Downside Risks Remain In Intraday Trade

Critically the key reversal pattern awaits confirmation from a successive down-day to be validated. Downside risks are centered on the pair’s recent lows near 1.5880. In the alternative scenario a daily close above 1.6170 would open the potential for a run on the recent 1.6400 peak.
