This series of lower highs has led to a bearish trendline which acted as a barrier to the recent bullish attempt to rally from the $1.743 support level.With price headed to the support level again and the bearish sentiment in the market, bears could be looking to extend the selling pressure by breaking the bullish defense at the level.However, historic price action showed bullish strength at the $1.6 to $1.7 price zone.
