• The pair was seen oscillating in a narrow trading band around 50-day SMA and consolidated Friday's bullish breakthrough a short-term descending trend-line.
• With technical indicators on the daily chart yet to catch up with the positive momentum, any subsequent up-move might confront fresh supply near the parity mark.
• The mentioned hurdle coincides with 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the 1.0129-0.9863 recent downfall and should act as a key trigger for bullish traders.
• Meanwhile, any meaningful dips are likely to get bought into near the descending trend-line resistance break-point, now turned support, currently near mid-0.9900s.
