Potential Trade Idea: The buying opportunity is valid as long as the price remains in the 110-85 – 110.20 zone. The exit signal for this idea could be the daily break and close below the recent low at 110.85. Or, considering the potential target of 350pips, stop loss can be placed 150-170 pips away from the entry price. The upside target is seen at 23.6% Fibs which is at 114.60. Perhaps best is to wait until Monday, to avoid any price gaps and then look for pullbacks in order to get the best entry price.
