However, the recent break above the 0.7250 level and the trend line suggests that the pair moved into a positive zone. Therefore, there are chances of more gains in the near term towards the 0.7400 level. If buyers remain in action, the pair could even test the 0.7530 level, which is near the 1.236 Fib extension level of the last slide from the 0.7451 high to 0.7020 swing low.

On the downside, the key supports are 0.7200 and 0.7180, below which the pair may decline back towards the 0.7100 level.

The 0.6650 support also coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upside move from the 0.6427 low to 0.6883 high. Therefore, dips from the current levels in the medium term remains supported near 0.6700 and 0.6650 levels.
