Ichimoku analysis (Daily chart):

Tenkan-Sen: 1108.83

Kijun-Sen: 939.33

On the upside, resistance is seen at 1255 (1h 50-SMA) and a break above would target 1271 (161.9% extension of 201.28 and 863)/1300. Further strength would see target 1330 (161.8% retracement of 1191 and 966.01)/1400.

Momentum studies: On the daily chart, RSI is at 75, MACD line is above the signal line, and major moving averages are biased higher. Overall bias is bullish as long as the 10-DMA support holds.

A break below 10-DMA, coupled with a rollover of stochs and RSI from overbought levels, would see further downside in the pair.

Recommendation: Wait for clear directional bias.
