Failure of the 0.78 support level would be bearish.
A straight rally above 0.85 may be prone to failure unless accompanied by heavy volume.

In theory one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice
one does not perceive it,
the ground upon which one treads seems not to move, and one can live undisturbed.
So it is with Time in one's life.
