The US strong data and raising expectations that the Federal Reserve will soon announce an interest rates hike supported the US dollar. The cable managed to gain ground last week.

In case if the prices fall below 1.5700, we can expect 34hrsma will act as support at 1.5670 and 1.5650. The hourly momentum oscillators are giving a selling signal. We recommend fresh selling below 1.5695 with the targets at 1.5680 ,1.5670, 1.5650, and 1.5630. The pair has hourly resistance at 1.5720 and 1.5736.
