"The 1 hour chart shows price above a bullish 20 SMA and indicators aiming higher above their midlines, yet some further confirmation above current price zone is required to confirm a short term upward extension," comments Valeria Bednarik from FXStreet.
On the other hand, Bednarik says that "a retracement down to 1.6000 on the other hand, should keep the risk to the downside looking for a retest of 1.5950, past week low."
