On the upside, the pair is expected to face a hurdle near 0.1187, the high of the bearish pin bar that was emerged few days ago.  If the price invalidates the pin bar low, then we may expect a test of 1.0312 which is the trendline resistance zone. The technical bias shall remain bullish as long as the 0.9861 support area is intact.

CB Leading Index

The economic calendar on Friday was light and the only release pertaining to the pair was the Conference Board’s leading index figures. There was a rise of 0.6% in January to beat the analyst forecast for a gain of 0.5% and a prior figure of the same.
