“¢ The pair built on the overnight bullish break through a short-term descending trend-line hurdle and climbed to near three-week highs on Friday.
“¢ The up-move now seems to have paused at an important resistance near mid-111.00s, also coinciding with 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the 113.18-109.77 recent slide.
“¢ Technical indicators on hourly charts are holding in bullish territory and have also started to turn positive on the daily chart.
“¢ Hence, dips back towards the 111.00 handle are more likely to be utilized as an opportunity to initiate fresh bullish positions and hence, should help limit any immediate downside.
