Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The overall trend remains cautious as the short-term moving averages (SMA and EMA 10\u201320) continue to show slight selling pressure. However, oversold conditions, a zone where reversals often start, are indicated by the commodity channel index and Williams %R.<\/p>\n<p>Stronger resistance is located around $1.65, and a push toward $1.48 may occur if buyers recover the $1.34 level. On the down side, a drop toward $1.10\u2013$1.15 might become possible if $1.22 is lost.
