Technical levels to watch
Strength
above Feb. high of 1.4668-70 would set the stage for an immediate
up-move towards 1.4700 round figure mark before the pair makes an
attempt towards testing the short-term ascending trend-channel
resistance near 1.4750-60 zone.
On the flip side, reversal from
current levels and a subsequent drop below 1.4625-20 immediate support
has the potential to drag the pair back below 1.4600 handle, towards
1.4580 horizontal support. Any further decline below 1.4600 is likely to
be limited at the trend-channel support, currently near 1.4550 level.
