As per the daily chart below, the price is drifting to the upside in comparison to the firmer two day's of bearish closes within the latest bearish impulse from the late October sell-off. While the current trajectory is to the upside, the pace for which it is recovering is unimpressive, so far and could attract a fade on rallies at this rate.

This leads to the conclusion that, should this current level of resistance hold, then the 1.03 figure is going to be left vulnerable. If, on the other hand, the resistance breaks, then the price would be expected to reach into the late 1.04 area and possibly break into the 1.05 territories in the forthcoming days.
