Moving averages remain supportive of higher prices with short-term averages holding steady above longer-term averages. In this case I am referring to the 1-month\/3-month <span>EMAs<\/span>. Sentiment is also supportive of higher prices as SSI (Speculative Sentiment Index) shows 71% of traders are positioned for lower prices. (Viewed as a <span>contrarian<\/span> indicator).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA breakout above resistance should pave the way for a retest and possible breakout of the April high of 1.1011. The H&amp;S range suggest a 400 pip move above the 1.0790 level is possible, providing an overall target of 1.12. The alternative set-up is for price to remain contained below resistance and form a triangle pattern before breaking out. Whether the breakout happens now or after a triangle develops the positioning of traders combined with the prevailing trend favors higher prices in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/ckfinder\/userfiles\/images\/dailyfx14-7.jpg\" style=\"width: 700px;height: 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\tThe views expressed are not <span>FNArena&#039;s<\/span> (see our disclaimer).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor real time news and analysis, please visit http:\/\/<span>www.dailyfx.com<\/span>\/real_time_news<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span>DailyFX<\/span> provides <span>forex<\/span> news on the economic reports and political events that influence the currency market.
