Key Quotes:
"The pair failed to advance beyond the 1.5500 region with dollar's initial decline, weighed by profit taking amid month-end and the upcoming UK elections."
"There were no relevant news in the UK, although Britain will release its money figures and the Marking Manufacturing PMI for April this Friday."
"Short term, the bearish potential prevails as the 1 hour chart shows that the price holds below a bearish 20 SMA, currently offering dynamic resistance around 1.5400, whilst the technical indicators are barely bouncing from oversold levels."
"In the 4 hours chart the price battles around a bullish 20 SMA, whilst the technical indicators head sharply lower and are now approaching their mid-lines. If the pair can't regain the 1.5400 level, the risk will remain to the downside, with a break below the mentioned daily low, triggering a bearish run towards 1.5260, a strong static support."
