Key Quotes
“If dips can be avoided, retests of 2016’s highs (1.1615-1.1715) could be seen but within the context of defining a higher, but consolidative, trading range”
“Weekly
- Weekly momentum avoided rolling-over but remains at extremes. This bodes caution as range resistance is tested
- Weekly closes above 1.13 have reduced deep retracement risks, but stretched momentum and extended price action both highlight potential for corrections”
“Monthly
- A strong upswing in monthly momentum is accompanying the test of horizontal resistance. This raises the potential that a base may have formed
- Although a long term base may have formed, a prolonged period of effective range trading is still likely before a more directional/dynamic move can develop”
