“¢ The pair has been oscillating between two converging trend-line over the past 1-1/2 week or so, forming a symmetrical triangle on short-term charts.
“¢ The fact that the pair has managed to hold above important intraday moving averages – 50, 100 & 200-hour SMA, support prospects for an eventual bullish breakout.
