Fresh strength emerges again above the top of rising daily cloud following false breaks higher in past two days but needs to sustain gains above the cloud and close above 1.2493 pivot (50% retracement of 1.2679/1.2307 / daily Kijun-sen) to generate fresh direction signal after two consecutive long-legged daily Doji candles signaled strong indecision.

Res: 1.2431; 1.2472; 1.2493; 1.2544.
Sup: 1.2450; 1.2435; 1.2397; 1.2368.
