  • The pair has broken above 100-DMA and edged above daily cloud which now offers strong support at 109.21 (cloud top).
     
  • Momentum studies are bullish and we see scope for test of 50% Fib at 109.68 ahead of 110.87 (converged trendline and 61.8% Fib).
     
  • Retrace into cloud will see weakness till 100-DMA. Breach below 100-DMA negates bullish bias.
