A close above 0.8220 could start another steady increase. In the stated case, the bulls could aim for a move to 0.8265. Any more gains might open the doors for a test of 0.8300.
If there is a downside correction, the pair could find bids near the channel support. The next major support could be near 0.8150. The main support might be 0.8100 and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour).
