The pair in the daily time frame rebounded from the reached support levels of 1.2075-65. In the near future, it is planned to retest the overcame level of 1.2170 (historical level + daily Tenkan), and slightly above it, the resistances of the daily dead cross of Ichimoku 1.2202 (daily Kijun) and 1.2236 (daily Fibo Kijun) are located.

Bulls have the initial advantage in the smaller time frames. They consolidated above the key levels, which are combining their strength at 1.2116-23 (central pivot level + weekly long-term trend) today. At the moment, the first resistance of the classic pivot levels (1.2157) is being tested. Other resistances can be noted at R2 (1.2187) and R3 (1.2228).

Yesterday, bullish traders continued to recover their positions and stayed above the daily short-term trend (1.3580), which is now the first important support in the higher time frames. The loss of the level will deprive the bulls of the daily short-term support, opening the way to the weekly short-term. The upward pivot point today is the maximum extremum of the current movement (1.3710). Upon consolidation above, we can expect the bulls to continue the upward trend.
