"Nevertheless, the pair remains confined to the same range in where it has been trading for the last three weeks, as both currencies are totally dollar-dependent these days. The neutral stance persists in the short term, as in the 1 hour chart, the price is hovering around a horizontal 100 SMA, while the Momentum indicator heads is also flat, but within positive territory, as the RSI indicator heads north around 58, keeping the downside limited.
