. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, y'day's rally after early breach of Apr's 104.13 high confirms an 'upside break' of the 7-month long broad sideways consolidation fm Jan's 5-year peak at 105.45 has indeed taken place n a breach of aforesaid 2014 high at 105.45 will be forthcoming soon to confirm LT rise fm 75.32 (2011 record low) has finally resumed n yield further gain to 106.26 (being 1.618 times extension of 100.76-104.13 measured fm 100.81) n later twd 107.06, this is 50% proj. of 77.13-103.74 fm 96.73). On the downside, only a breach of 104.13 (Apr's high, now sup) wud signal a temporary top is made n risk stronger pullback to 103.81 but sup at 103.56 is expected to remain intact.
