On the upside, the pair is now facing a major hurdle at 1.3580. The next major resistance might be 1.3620. A close above 1.3620 could start another steady increase. In the stated case, the bulls could aim for a move to 1.3700.

Any further gains might open the door for a test of 1.3750. If there is a fresh decline, the pair might find bids near 1.3500. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at 1.3510. The next major support could be near 1.3450 and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour).
