Scope for resistance at 0.9345/56
“The April/June fall at 0.9264/75 is under severe pressure and we now look for a break above here, which would finally confirm a sustained trending move higher, with scope then for the multi-year downtrend and more minor retracement resistance at 0.9345/56. We expect this level to prove a tough barrier if reached.”
“The pair should now ideally hold above the 0.9242/43 minor breakout point to maintain the direct upside pressure. Below here the next level is seen at 0.9192/90, below which would remove the upside pressure and leave the market back in its range.”
