#### 1. **Support and Resistance Levels**
– **Immediate Resistance**: The primary resistance lies at 0.6666. A sustained close above this level would confirm renewal of the rally from the swing low at 0.6361 and point to further advances.
– **Major Resistance**: Beyond 0.6666, additional resistance sits at 0.6713 (the January 2024 swing high) and the psychological threshold at 0.6750/0.6800.
