THe price just moved to test the 200 hour MA at 1.25347. Sellers have leaned on the first look, but the buyers are making the play.

Recall from yesterday, the price tumbled through that MA cluster. The low for the day reached to - and through - the lows from earlier in the week and last week between 1.2475 and 1.2470. The price tested an old swing low going back to March 19 at 1.24610 and bounced.

However, given the pair stalled at the 200 hour MA on April 15, April 16 and and April 20, the 200 hour MA is a definite focus for the pair.
