Overall, the buyers are holding the better hand, but sellers can lean against the old high and put a stop above the level if the price should go higher.

The pair moved below both those MA on the corrective move lower last Wednesday, but once the price moved above both on Thursday, the traders used the 100 hour MA as a launch point to the upside.
