The move to the upside took the price above its 200 hour moving average 0.63682, and saw the pair extend above a swing area between 0.6379 and 0.6387 (the high price reached 0.63928). However, the momentum could not be sustained and buyers turned to sellers on the break back below the swing area down to 0.6379).
