Today’s strong rally which so far marks the biggest daily gains since 24 Jan, has generated several bullish signals which suggest further advance, as daily techs are improving.Bulls pressure next significant barrier at $3.1498 (Fibo 61.8% of $3.2270/$3.0250) close above which will be bullish signal for extension through daily Kijun-sen ($3.1575) towards next key barrier at $3.1985 (daily cloud top).
North-heading daily RSI and slow stochastic show plenty of space to accommodate further bullish extension.Broken cloud base should ideally contain and keep the downside protected.
