The sellers have displayed their dominance through the breakout from the symmetrical triangle. In June, the Bulls took off from an overbought region. Three White Soldiers led the market from the oversold region. On the daily chart, the bullish trend line was anchored by the corresponding lows formed by the lower highs. The month of September was very bullish. The Williams Percent Range rested in the overbought region.

The market bounced off the ascending trendline but failed to create a new (higher) high. A new head-and-shoulders pattern formed at 1.370. The Williams Percent Range indicates the market was well overbought. The sellers drove the market beyond the supporting trend line.

The price is likely to decline to the lower support level of 1.330. The Williams Percent Range is oversold on the 4-hour chart. The retest of the ascending trendline is expected to aid the selloff towards the support zone.
