Major resistance at 1.1790 is not expected to come under threat

The rebound has scope to extend but given that there has been no significant increase in upward momentum, any advance is likely to be limited to a test of 1.1760. The major resistance at 1.1790 is not expected to come under threat. Support levels are at 1.1715 and 1.1690."
