The aggressive breakout above 1.2 signals further gains ahead even if the price will decrease a little to retest the broken upside obstacles. A bullish closure above the R2 (1.2072) and beyond the 1.2087 high brings a long opportunity.

Also, a sideways movement above 1.2000 could offer a good buying opportunity. The upper median line (uml) could be used as an immediate target. The R3 (1.2181) and the 1.22 are seen as targets as well if EUR/USD continues to increase.
