That area (at 0.7043-469) is a key barometer for the bulls and bears. Stay above is more bullish move below and the run higher looks suspect and we should see a further probe to the downside.

It is not all open road to the topside. The 0.70684 remains a level to take back above. The high in the NY session could only get to 0.70644.

So buyers came in against support and sellers are now coming in against resistance. Traders are playing the range at the upper extremes (relatively) and are looking for the next push/break.
