The bulls would extend towards the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) located at 0.9230 to the upside.

On the other hand, if the price breaks below 0.9130 and makes a sustained move below the mentioned level, then it would open the doors for 0.9120 and 0.9090 – horizontal support zones. Next on the bears’ radar will be the March 1 lows near the 0.9070 region.
