Fresh bears broke below 1.1594 (Fibo 76.4%) and pressure daily cloud top (1.1574) violation of which would lead towards full retracement of 1.1526/1.1815 upleg. Daily momentum is about to break into negative territory and maintains bearish pressure, as daily cloud is thinning and will twist late next week, which could further attract bears.
