The Weekly Chart

The weekly chart reveals that the downward trend initiated in April 2021 is continuing. The pair has made multiple attempts to break through the descending resistance line (in red) but has been stalled each time.

The 14-week RSI, on the other hand, has moved away from the oversold zone and is approaching the middle line. The primary impediment to gaining momentum in the bullish zone with this indicator is the diagonal resistance (in yellow).
