The price was able to climb above $1.3350 and $1.350 to enter a short-term positive zone.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4739 swing high to the $1.3217 low.

The price is now trading above $1.370 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

The next hurdle sits at $1.420. A clear move above the $1.420 resistance might send the price toward the $1.450 resistance.
