Also, the price opened the door for a gaining week and on the upside, the next resistance comes in at 1.2090, while on the bigger picture, we could easily see a run until the 1.2400 strong psychological level. The aforementioned obstacle is the 161.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the last big down-leg with high at 1.1615 and low at 1.0340.
