Overbought/Oversold

Since the larger wave is now moving up, it's preferable to try long positions until the price breaks below 1.0304 and when the Detrended Oscillator goes below the zero level (current prices) or into the oversold area (20-30 pips below the current prices), watch for entries long at or near the indicated supports.
