My analysis shows strong support holding firm around the 1.0808 and 1.08 levels. Despite the slight 24h drop of -0.16%, the price has been unable to convincingly break below these critical zones, indicating underlying buying interest.
This is a high probability zone for a bounce. My entry for a long position is set at 1.0825, positioning me just above the immediate support confluence. The stop loss is placed strategically at 1.0785, comfortably below the 1.08 psychological level and the recent day low of 1.08079. This ensures I'm out if the support truly fails, maintaining a moderate risk profile. A break above the immediate resistance at 1.0858 would be the initial confirmation of a market structure shift towards an upward bias.
