This 0.9400 resistance level represents the long-term, 15-month high hit in mid-November. The current bullishness occurs within the context of a medium-term uptrend extending from the early-February low.
Further bullish momentum that subsequently breaks out strongly to the upside above the 0.9400 resistance region would represent a very significant price event that could potentially go on to target further upside resistance in the 0.9650 price region.
