Price zone of 1.3280 - 1.3300 provided strong demand for the pair pushing it higher above 1.3400 - 1.3450 (prominent technical levels). Persistence of the current movement to push above 1.3450 level allows the pair to reach the next supply level around 1.3640 where the price action should be watched.

SMA 100 is located around 1.3510-1.3550 which provided signficant support for the pair today, pushing the pair higher again towards 1.3610 and possibly 1.3670.

Based on the market analysis, there is a valid sell entry around 1.3640-1.3670 with SL as daily closure above 1.3700.
