Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at S1 0.65703 with break below could see further selling pressure towards S2 at 0.6525. To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 0.67233 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 0.66015 would indicate selling pressure.
