<p>On the daily chart below, we can
see that the sellers failed to break decisively the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/“>support</a> level at 32684 on the first try.
This may be just a pullback before more economic data confirms the new
