• Major resistance is seen at the level of 1.5377.
• We expect a new range up to 68 pips today.
• Fibonacci retracement is used to determine accurate psychological levels of support and resistance. The period of time should be taken into account. Fibonacci is in a range trade; it looks like the trend is trapped and going up or down. If you sell or buy in the long term in this period, you will surely lose your profit.
• Stop loss should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts.
• As a rule, the market is highly volatile if the last day had huge volatility.
