Still in range, waiting for U.S. Payrolls, pair remains slightly bullish as still above 20 SMA, yet losing upside momentum after this consolidation stage. Trapped under the 61.8% of the last daily fall, pair needs to break above 1.4930 to extend the upside, while clear break under 1.4810 could trigger selling rallies. Pair today likely to follow U.S. stocks.
