The last 4 so hours has seen the price slow it's ascent. However, the most recent hour has seen the price extend to new highs.
It would take a move back below the rising trend line currently around 1.2030 to get intraday traders more nervous for perhaps a corrective rotation back to the downside.
Looking at the 5 minutes chart below, the price rise into the London fixing was modest to the upside. The pair did stay mostly above its 100 bar moving average (blue line). On the moved above the 1.2000 level, the momentum started to increase more to the upside. The consolidation over the last few hours has seen modest corrective action, keeping the buyers in control. It would take a move below the lower trend line on the chart below around 1.2046 to hurt some of the bullish momentum on this chart.
