General overview for 18/03/2015 09:35 CET

The current price consolidation between the levels of 1.2821 - 1.2736 is getting more complex and time-consuming as the market is waiting for important Fed's news release later today. A breakout might happen any time now and the downward spike to the level of 1.2596 is needed to complete the current corrective cycle. The longer term bias still remains bullish.

Support/Resistance:

1.2917 - WR1

1.2821 - Intraday Resistance

1.2746 - Weekly Pivot

1.2732 - Intraday Support

1.2668 - WS1

1.2596 - Technical Support
