The Euro may finally be ready to resume the down trend against the US Dollar after nearly a month of indecision at resistance in play since mid-June. The appearance of RSI divergence hints at ebbing upside momentum, suggesting a downturn may be in the cards ahead.

A look at the four-hour chart argues for patience however. The bounds of the latest upswing remain conspicuously intact. So too does support above the 1.15 figure that cut short the prior attempt at downtrend resumption in late August. All this warns against assumptions of immediate downside follow-through.
