There is also a confluence of Fibonacci levels on both the weekly and daily charts in this area. A restest of the trendline near 1.2520 could be on the cards for the weeks ahead.

The nearer-term target area is based on an imbalance of price between 1.2585 and 1.2540. The 61.8% Fibonacci is also a compelling area of resistance on the daily chart.
