Markets await release of US inflation data for October (due later today) for fresh signals that keeps the pair in a quiet mode this morning.
Broken 200DMA / Fibo reverted to resistances which should ideally cap upticks to keep larger bears intact and guard falling 10DMA (1.2894) and 20DMA (1.2938) violation of which would question bears and risk test of upper breakpoint at 1.3000 (psychological / 100DMA).
