The price action from April 2018 formed a bearish Outside Bar, often an indication that the rally (correction) has come to an end. For the last seven months we have seen spikes in both directions highlighting indecision. This month posted a DeMark Perfected 9 count, indicating that we should see a correction to the upside. Trend of lower highs is seen at 1.3785, bespoke resistance at 1.4020.
