The brief dip in USD overnight pushed the pair to near 1.2708 before ending the session 0.59% lower at 1.2709. As long as USD remains below 1.2740, it could continue its decline toward 1.2695. The next major support level, 1.2670, is expected to emerge soon. The upside potential is marked by a strong resistance level at 1.2770.",
