While price remains between 1.3290 and 1.3450, watch how it behaves around the weekly pivot at 1.3362.
A sustained break above 1.3450 would favour the upside scenario. Returning below the pivot would weaken it.
A sustained break below 1.3290 would favour the downside scenario. Recovering above the pivot would weaken it.
