Our next target is at 1.1180, keeping in mind that a break of 1.1320 could push the pair to achieve further intraday gains of 1.1370 and extend to 1.1443 before deciding more clearly next.

The trading range for today is expected between 1.1200 and 1.1370 support.

The general trend for today is bearish.
