King was cautiously optimistic but warns that the recovery will not be a normal recovery, as the recession is one that is unprecedented.

Note that the charting pattern's offer a falling wedge shape which the pair broke through the top side of yesterday, and a close above the figure 0.8500 this week might attract bids and perhaps larger players who have otherwise been sitting on the side-lines.
