Tests swing levels going back to June 16_

Looking at the hourly chart, the pair is testing the swing area at 1.3615 – 23 area. A move above that level opens up the door for further upside potential. For traders, the close risk is the broken trend line at 1.3595 currently. A move below that level – and staying below – could see buyers on the news give up on the trade.

AAA is the highest of ratings. AA+ is the next highest. It is a downgrade, but the risks are minimal of a default.
