Despite intra-day marginal rise to 1.3159, the subsequent sharp retreat suggests top has possibly been formed there and downside risk has increased for retracement of recent upmove to 1.3035-40, however, only break of support at 1.2999 would confirm recent upmove has ended, bring further fall to 1.2980 and later towards 1.2955-60.

In view of this, would be prudent to exit long entered at 1.3085 and stand aside in the meantime. Above 1.3120 would bring recovery to 1.3140 but only break of said resistance at 1.3159 would revive bullishness and signal recent upmove has resumed for headway to 1.3185-90 and then 1.3210-20.
