The EU and U.K. managed finally to reach a deal and move forward with Brexit. As a result, the British pound is expected to show upward movement and we should see some upward corrections as the euro plots retracement. In the U.S, among major data releases today is the non-farm payroll report.

Comment: Overall, the market is short-term bullish. A close over 13505 will rekindle bull trending to reach previous peaking levels at 1.3612+. A close over 1.3667 is bullish for moves to 1.3860. Be prepared for a near term slip and congestion inside the upper half of yesterday's range. Stable action over 1.3400+ suggests a build up for rallies. A close under 1.3353* highlights a topping turnover and chance for declines along 1.3200.
