The price continued to correct within the current maximums and failed to breach level 1.3500 and fix above, after which it pulled back downwards to 1.3430/20. However, the price is currently rising again, residing at the moment around level 1.3470/80. Indicators are turning up again, although MACD divergence suggests to be cautious and be ready for the upcoming large-scale correction. Besides, the "bears" have failed to bring the trading beyond the up channel trend line (blue lines), which indicates that the "bullish" trend is currently stronger. Range 1.3500-1.3450 breakout and fixation above will initiate further growth, possibly even to 1.3780/1.3800. Nevertheless, there is a strong resistance on the way up - level 1.3580, wherefrom the correction, MACD has warned of, may begin. Support 1.3150/40 breakout will trigger a reversal to a down trend.
