  • The pair has broken above 1H 200-SMA at 1.2914 and minor trendline resistance at 1.2925 on the intraday charts.
     
  • Technical indicators are biased higher and we see weakness only on break below key support at 20-DMA at 1.2844.
     
  • US PPI and weekly jobless claims data along with day-2 of Yellen's testimony will be in focus for further price action.
