With the current close at 1.95785 positioned beneath the 1.96159 middle Bollinger Band and the RSI at 44.47, sellers maintain control of short-term direction. A drop below the lower Bollinger Band at 1.95216 could open paths toward primary support at 1.94349.

Upcoming Eurozone inflation releases and RBNZ rate decisions will likely act as key catalysts.
