Let’s come back to the daily chart. An upside break of the neckline could confirm that a long term bullish movement is underway. This will take price up by 550 pips to around 0.9400, the measured move target of the double bottom pattern. On the other side, if the pair failed to break above 0.8851 neckline resistance, lengthier sideways movement in a trading range between 0.8304 and 0.8851 could be seen to follow.
