Overbought/Oversold

Assuming that the medium term trend is down it's preferable to look for shorts when the Detrended Oscillator gets into the overbought (10-20 pips above the current price - this roughly corresponds to the immediate Fib resistance at 1.0107) or stays above the zero level (current prices).
