Under current circumstances, it would be wiser to focus on the limits of the sideways channel, seen at 0.9810 and 0.9875. This range is passing exactly along the key level of 0.9850, which could indicate the accumulation process.

Consider buying the instrument after consolidation above 0.9885.

Short poisons could be opened after the price settles below 0.9800.

There has been no signal to buy the pair so far, as the bulls are still feeling the pressure that comes from resistance. In order to extend the uptrend, the quote should settle above the 1.1410 mark. This would signal the possibility of a breakout through resistance. Consolidation above 1.1525 would confirm a breakout. Until then, the price may pull back.
