Long Term Technical Analysis: The pair was held below our resistance level of 1.5450 and dived down end of last week towards Ichimoku cloud, just to be held above it on Tuesday. Currently the pair is showing indecisive movements right above 61% Fibonacci level with a new bearish sentiment upon London market open on Thursday. A break below this level as well as Ichimoku could push the pair down all the way towards 50% Fibonacci at 1.50 and beyond. The RSI is heading down

Alternative Scenario: Above 1.5160 look for further upside towards 1.5450
