EUR/USD

Extends rally from 1.4156 higher low, clearing 1.4380, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement and 1.44 barrier, looking for test of 76.4% retracement at 1.4435 and 1.4454, 15 Apr intraday high, ahead of possible attempt at key barriers at 1.4500/18. Break here is needed to resume bulls and open 1.4579, 2010 high, next.
