A clear move above the $1.4350 resistance might send the price toward the $1.4550 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.4620 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.4840.

Another Drop?

The next major support is near the $1.40 level and the trend line or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3460 swing low to the $1.4570 high.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.40 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3820. The next major support sits near the $1.3620 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.350. Any more losses might call for a test of $1.3320.
