The pair climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the 0.7047 high to 0.6910 low. However, there are a few important resistances on the upside near the 0.6990 and 0.7000 levels.

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.
