To sum up, as long as 0.7030 holds on the upside, a further downside to 0.6965 (the previous low) seems more likely to occur. A break below this level would trigger a new drop to 0.6945.

The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.6965.
