On the H4, price is still bullish biased as it fails to pull back to the first support the previous session. It is currently moving towards the first resistance at 135.599 which coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and the previous swing low. If price breaks this level, it will move up to test at the second resistance which is the previous swing high at 137.506. Alternatively, price could pull back to test at the first support 134.361 which is the previous swing low

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 135.599
