At the moment the currency pair is fluctuating between the 100-period SMA and weekly S1 at 4.1875/4.1799. Moreover, the pair’s volatility is at the lower levels, thus a break-out is not expected in the near term; although, we are expecting it to be to the down-side, when more applicable time comes.
