  • The pair breached its 50,200 and then 20-day EMAs, before meeting resistance above $0.6350 a level it has struggled to breach in recent dealing.
  • DXY fell ~1.3%, US Equities were firmer with the S&P500 up 2.5% and NASDAQ 100 ~3% higher. 10 Year US Treasury Yields declined 15 bps.
  • Bulls have re-established the bullish trend, they now target a break above $0.64 to open the Dec 13 high at $0.6514. Bears first look to break the 20-day EMA at $0.6305.
