The positive momentum, alongside this pattern, are factors that make us expect a bullish intraday direction that requires two main factors to achieve it; first, a clear breach of 86.35, second is trading above 85.70.

In overall, we can expect to witness a bearish intraday directionthat initially targets attacking 1.0395 and then paved the way towards the next target at 1.0280, but keep in mind the importance of stabilizing below 1.0560 to insure chances of these expectations.

We recommend being careful in trading today, where vital Canadian data is expected today as of 11:00 GMT, followed by unemployment data from the US.
