Kijun-Sen: 866

On the upside, the pair now faces resistance at 1271 (161.8% extension of 201.28 and 863) and a break above would target 1300/1359 (241.4% retracement of 863 and 512). Further strength would target 1400/1430.

Momentum studies: While bias remains bullish on the daily chart with no sign of reversal, caution is advised as stochs and RSI are at extremely overbought levels.
