Update: the pair is traded in a very narrow range so we remain the same. As could be seen on the chart above that the pair is traded below a strong resistance level around 1.1300. It also matches a Fibonacci level of 0.386 (From 14.10.2014 to 03.01.2017). So, we believe that as long as the pair is traded below it, it is highly recommended to go short targeting the level of 1.1200 followed by 1.1100 during the week. On the other hand, if the level of 1.1300 is broken (by at least a daily close) then the way would be open for the pair to reach 1.1400.
