On the downside, the pair has strong support at the 1.33-1.3295 levels; below this, 1.3250 and 1.3210 are open targets. We have been recommending the range of 1.3250-1.3210 from the 1.3650 levels. The pair lost its ground, closed below the short- and medium-term moving averages.
The monthly key resistance level moved from 1.37 to 1.3420. The bulls must close above 1.3420 on the monthly closing basis. If not, we can see the 1.32 and 1.30 levels in the medium term. Still 7 trading days are left this month. Bulls can try to close above 1.3420 at the end of the month.
