Momentary bulls, in the minor trend, resume at around 21-DMA level, prior to which the spinning top pattern candlestick to plummeted prices as anticipated (refer daily plotting).
In such a scenario, it should surpass 1.8419 and 1.8498 levels as the key obstacles for more rallies up to 1.8510 level that seems unlikely event in the near terms but possible in the medium-terms as both leading oscillators are bullish bias. But trend indicators are indecisive.
Both RSI and Stochastic curves show upward convergence to the prevailing rallies to indicate the buying momentum.
Contrary to that bearish scenario, on a broader perspective, the intermediate trend also spikes through the rising channel (refer weekly chart), where bulls hold firm at the channel support at 1.7792 level.
Consequently, the current price spikes above EMAs as both leading oscillators signal bullish momentum & lagging indicators are indecisive on this timeframe as well.
