This will be my first trade of the day and I expect to take the loss if the price going further down and will still looking to buy at range of 1.5870/90. There would be much greater support in that range as it was the previous up swing low and also where a lower trendline of a bullish trend lies. Breaking both support, I will reanalyze and consider for selling position.
