The price will decline from the level of 1.3549 (closing of the last weekly candle) to the target of 1.3457 – the pullback level of 50% (red dotted line) this week. Once this level is reached, it may begin rising to the target of 1.3596 – the pullback level of 38.2% (yellow dotted line), from which it is possible to continue the upward trend.

Alternatively, the price from the level of 1.3549 (closing of the last weekly candle) may plunge to the target of 1.3389 – the pullback level of 61.8% (red dotted line), and then start moving up to the target of 1.3480 – the historical resistance line (blue dotted line) after reaching this level.
