“¢ The pair traded with a mild positive bias for the second consecutive session on Friday and built on its steady recovery from the post-RBNZ slide to six-month lows.
“¢ Bulls, however, failed to capitalize on the intraday momentum back above the 0.6600 handle and the pair started retreating from a resistance marked by 200-hour EMA.
Meanwhile, the pair now seems to have formed a firm base near 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the 0.6685-0.6526 recent downfall, which should now act as a key pivotal point for the pair’s near-term trajectory.
