The European session low moved back below the swing highs from last week (between 1.2400 and 1.2410). However there has been more up and down trading into the New York session. The high price of the low has reached 1.2435.

So buyers and sellers are battling it out above and below the aforementioned highs from last week. The current price trades at 1.2407.

The best case scenario for the "break" buyers from yesterday would've been to hold the support against 1.2400-1.2410 area. That has not happened. There has been a chink in the armor of the bullish run. However, sellers are finding some stall as well.
