Despite intra-day brief rise to 0.9250, the subsequent sharp retreat from there suggests caution on our long position entered at 0.9170 and 0.9135-40 needs to hold to retain bullishness for another rebound later, above 0.9225-30 would signal the retreat from 0.9250 has ended and bring another test of this level. Having said that, break of 0.9250 is needed to add credence to our bullish view for a stronger retracement of recent decline to 0.9289
