Trading Outlook:
The weekly time frame chart reveals a decisive Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern materializing amid the breakout beyond the 1.2340 level, signaling the dominance of bullish sentiment as prices continue to climb. Currently, the market is trading above the 50-week moving average (WMA) and is on course towards the 100 WMA positioned at 1.2504. Conversely, a sustained breakout below the critical long-term technical support at 1.1802 significantly heightens the probability of a substantial downward movement, potentially targeting the level of 1.1494.
