The 0.8615 resistance has held the initial test

“The market has recently seen quite a strong reversal from the 0.8505/00 support, the lows from mid-July, and we suspect that further ranging is likely.”

“Initial resistance lies at 0.8615/20, and above here would allow for 0.8656, the 200-day ma and 0.8671, the July 2021 high. Above here lies the 0.8722 April high.”
