The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the 0.7047 high to 0.6910 low is also near the 0.6990 level. Therefore, if there is an upside break above the 0.7000 level, the pair could continue to rise.
The next major resistance above 0.7000 is near the 0.7040 and 0.7050 levels. On the downside, there is a strong support forming near the 0.6955 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average.
