While the event based upside is likely to remain on the cards, buyers will look for a daily closing beyond April month high of 1.0754 to aim for November 2019 top close to 1.0880.

It should also be noted that the sellers are less likely to enter unless the quote drops below 21-day SMA level of 1.0625.

In doing so, a confluence of 200-day SMA and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of November 2019 to March 2020 fall, around 1.0530/15, will be the key to watch.
