Sellers are putting more pressure on the pair, and the price is sliding further downwards. The price is moving away from the 50-day EMA on the Daily chart, which indicates a downwards trend continuation.

The MACD, with its histogram below the zero level, and the signal lines pointing downwards, indicates that the price may still move down.
