As the greenback has slipped again after brief bounce to 1.0142, suggesting further consolidation would be seen but as long as support at 1.0073 holds, mild upside bias remains for another rebound, above said intra-day resistance would bring retest of 1.0171 but break there is needed to confirm recent erratic rise from 0.9861 low has resumed and extend further gain to 1.0200-10 but overbought condition should limit upside to 1.0220-25 and price should falter below previous chart resistance at 1.0248.

In view of this, we are holding on to our long position entered at 1.0100. Below said support at 1.0073 would abort and signal top has been formed instead, risk weakness to 1.0040-45 but reckon support at 1.0009 would remain intact.
