On the H4, with prices breaking out of the descending channel and expected to bounce off the stochastic support, we have a bullish bias that prices will drop and rise from the 1st support at 106.065 where the swing low support is to the 1st resistance at 106.988 where the pullback resistance and 23.6% fibonacci retracement are. Alternatively, price could break 1st support structure and head to 2nd support at 105.642 where the overlap support, 61.8% fibonacci retracement and 61.8% fibonacci projection are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 106.988
