Key support levels include 0.6150, 0.6120, and 0.6100, while resistance levels are 0.6190, 0.6200, and 0.6230. A close above the 20-day SMA, currently at 0.6200, could signal further upward movement with the next target being at early September highs near 0.6300. In addition, traders should monitor the 0.6100 area as the 100 and 200-day SMAs are about to perform a bullish crossover. That could serve as a bullish confirmation and might trigger another upwards leg.
