Price action remains moving within an expanding pattern, a figure that often appears after major tops. Bears are now testing the September 4 land 8 lows in the 0.8660 area, ahead of the wedge bottom, which is now at 0.8640. Further down, the next target would be the August 14 low, at 0.8600.


To the upside, bulls have been contained below the September 5 high of 0.8685, ahead of the September 2 and 3 highs, at the 0.8710-0.8715 area and the wedge top, which is now crossing the August 7 and July 28 highs, at the 0.8745-0.8755 area.
