• Stochastic oscillator: The indicator repeatedly oscillates and adjusts near the 50 median line, suggesting that the short-term long and short forces are in a game. The indicator sends a long signal above the overbought level, which makes it clear that there is a probability of a rebound during the day.
•  False breakthrough: After the exchange rate fell below the key 142 integer mark yesterday, it quickly rebounded to the purple 13-period moving average. The false breakout trend makes it clear that the bullish probability prevails during the day, but it is worth noting that the exchange rate needs to break through the intraday high again before paying attention to short-term trend-following opportunities.
