Currently, the price is residing just above 1.0850 and if we see a daily close below 1.0850 then we will be looking forward to selling with a target towards 1.0720. On the other hand, if the price remains above 1.0850 with a daily close then we will be looking forward to buy with a target towards 1.1010. As of the market gap in place, it is expected that the GAP will be filled up first before the price climb upwards again.
