On the H4, with prices breaking out of the ascending channel, we have a bearish bias that prices will rise and drop from the 1st resistance at 108.043 where the 61.8% fibonacci projection and 50% fibonacci retracement are to the 1st support at 106.911 where the swing low support is. Alternatively, prices could break 1st resistance and rise to 2nd resistance at 109.265 in line with swing high resistance.
