On the H4 chart, price has broken through the first support level at 143.474, where the 38.2% Fibonacci line is located. Price is currently consolidating near 144.952, the 0% Fibonacci line. Expect price to reflect back down from the first resistance level and towards the first support level. Price could also break through the first resistance and head towards the second resistance at 147.411 where the 127.2% Fibonacci expansion extension line is.

Price has rejected the first resistance and pulled back to test the first support at 110.919 where the 50% retracement and 100% projection sits. If price breaks this support it should test the second support at 107.669 where the previous swing low sits. Alternatively price could test the first resistance again at 114.719 levels where the previous swing high sits and if it breaks this level, price might test the second resistance at 116.507 where the 78.6% projection sits.

On the H4, price is moving within the channel but in an ascending manner- we are slightly bullish biased. Price has bounced off the first support and is moving toward the first resistance at 0.9895 where the 100% projection and 50% retracement sits. If price breaks this level, it will test the second resistance at 1.0197 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively, the overall bearish momentum should bring price back to test the first support at 0.9550 where the previous swing low and 161.8% extension sits. If it breaks this level, we have a strong bearish confirmation to bring price down to 0.9331 where the 78.6% projection sits
