• Technical signals are  strongly bullish as RSI is   at 74, daily momentum studies  5, 9 and 10 DMAs are trending up.

•   Immediate resistance is located at 1.3792( Daily high), any close above will push the pair towards 1.3831(23.6%fib)

•  Strong support is seen at 1.3669 (38.2%  fib) and break below could take the pair towards 1.3537(50%  fib).
