Strategists G.Berry and G.Yu at UBS remain bearish on the cross, adding, “Any upside in the near-term appears to be limited. Resistance at 1.0413/57 should hold. Support is at 1.0305 ahead of 1.0227”.

At the moment, the pair is up 0.05% at 1.0365 with the next resistance at 1.0373 (high Feb.14) ahead of 1.0400 (high Feb.6) and then 1.0407 (MA100d).
On the downside, a breach of 1.0343 (MA10d) would expose 1.0326 (low Fe.14) and finally 1.0315 (MA200d).
