Due to release of much better than expected German GDP data the currency exchange rate not only left the junior rising wedge formation but also managed to break through the upper resistance line of a three-month long dominant descending channel.  

Generally, the pair is expected to spend some time moving horizontally and then make a turnaround, as the further path to the north is obstructed by combined resistance formed by the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, the monthly R1 and the weekly R3. 

This assumption is also supported on daily timeframe, as an area near the 1.1796 mark contains the 50-day SMA. However, the surge might continue if release of the American inflation and retail sales data will not justify expectations.
