Despite this view, a deeper retracement to the relevant contention region around 1.1495 level (March Highs) is still unfavoured. On the other hand, the recently broken key area in the 1.1700 regions has now become the next target of the significance of occasional bullish attempts.

As seen on the daily, a sustained move beyond here will be seen as a fresh trigger for intraday bullish traders follow-through and pave the way for a move beyond the 1.2900 marks. Moreover, technical indicators such as the daily RSI has maintained its trend beneath its midline 50 and is yet to register any meaningful recovery, warranting caution for bulls.

On the downside, a sustained break of 38.2% retracement of 1.1409 to 1.3482 at 1.2675 levels will argue that the rise from 1.1409 level might be completed and bring a deeper fall to 61.8% retracement at 1.2252 level.
