Daily chart is positive-biased as stochastics is bullish; MACD staged bullish crossover against its exponential moving average; the five-day moving average is rising above the 15-day MA.

In alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points short positions are recommended with the first target at 155.45, the breach of this target will move the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 154.65. The pivot point stands at 156.5.
