In the case of further growth, there is the possibility of moving towards the resistance level of 1.2350. However, it's worth noting that due to the current overbought condition of the intraday market, a pullback is possible, although speculators may ignore it, considering the momentum movement. Despite this, the resistance area at 1.2350 may be a significant level for buyers.
