The pair has moved above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $864.53 high to $475.28 low. However, it seems like the pair is struggling to break the $715 level. Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $864.53 high to $475.28 low is also acting as a major resistance.
