| |
|
|  | | Pivot: 1.0895
Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.0895 with targets @ 1.0925 & 1.094 in extension.
Alternative scenario: below 1.0895 look for further downside with 1.0875 & 1.086 as targets.

| |
|
|  | | Pivot: 1.432
Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.432 with targets @ 1.444 & 1.4465 in extension.
Alternative scenario: below 1.432 look for further downside with 1.4245 & 1.4185 as targets.
