We see potential for prices for a drop from our 1st resistance at 95.818 in line with 61.8% Fibonacci extension towards our 1st support at 95.158 in line with 50% Fibonacci retracement. Our bearish bias is further supported by RSI being close to levels where dips occurred previously and also prices passing through our ichimoku cloud support.

On the H4 timeframe, prices are abiding to a descending trendline and are on bearish momentum. We would expect a dip from our 1st resistance at 95.818 in line with 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement towards our 1st support at 95.426 in line with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
