• Technical signals are  strongly bullish as RSI is   at 53, daily momentum studies  5, 9 and 10 DMAs are trending up.

•   Immediate resistance is located at 1.3247( 50%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.3300( Psychological level)

•  Strong support is seen at 1.3130(SMA 20) and break below could take the pair towards 1.3022 (23.6%fib).
