Watch the 50% retracement

That move, however, ran into resistance against the topside trend line at 0.72084, and stalled.

The subsequent fall has seen the price fall back below the 50% midpoint at 0.71748, but could not extend toward the day's lows. The price is back above the 50%. Stay above would keep the buyers more in control.

If that level can now hold, a move back to the high and toward the 618% (and topside trend line) at 0.72148 can't be ruled out. If it is reached, look for sellers to lean again with stops above.

If the 50% is rebroken, be on the look out for the buyers to give up and rotate back toward the lower trend line where buyers and sellers can decide "what next?".
