EUR/USD - 4 hour time frame chart
We can see that since price has approached the lower boundary of the channel, that the downtrend has come back. Besides that, there is some evidence that the bearish scenario seems most likely to happen.
Although the price is consolidating, we can see that the price is trading in the expansive channel, which could dictate a further bearish move if sellers manage to break lower the chart pattern.
