The pair trades at 0.8320 after a 1.7% two-day rally pushed momentum into overbought territory and it pulled back from one-month highs near 0.8340, testing support at 0.8310-0.8315. The RSI(14) near 67 and positive MACD still show buying pressure, and hot US inflation plus strong employment data back a December Fed hike, so dips are expected to stay shallow. A corrective pullback is the most likely short-term move, with limited downside.
