Primary trend: Bullish
This is a bullish market, and the outlook for the next 5 trading days ought to continue to be so. This cross has moved upward by close to 1000 pips in the month of January 2013.

Despite a possibility of the price reaching the demand zone at 123.50 during some probable corrections, the price should go upwards to the next target at 125.00 and another supply zone at 125.50.

If you see this on 4-hour charts or 5-minutes chart, you’d get an insight into the nature of price actions during strong biases. Even when reversal pattern candlesticks like doji do appear, they do so in the context of the overall market outlook.
