The pair has resistance at 1.1355, 1.1372, and 1.1400. We recommend fresh selling below 1.1280 with the targets at 1.1260, 1.1225, 1.1200, and 1.1185. We recommend fresh buying only above 1.1400. Today, the focus has shifted to the unemployment data in the US. The pair still favours every rise to sell. The weekly resistance exists at 1.1560. Until the price closes above it, the weekly trading pattern is framed between 1.1098 and 1.1560 levels. As of now, the monthly resistance exists at 1.2000 or 50Dsma. The short-term trend will chance only if the price closes above it, until then use every rise to sell.
