Key quotes
“Momentum turned positive but only just. The cable still trades below the 100 and 200 SMAs while the Relative Strength Index is balanced.”
“Above 1.2270, the next resistance lines are 1.2340, 1.2375, and 1.2460 were all stepping stones on the way down.”
“Some support awaits at 1.2250, which is provided support in both April and May, and it is followed by 1.2165, a former double-bottom.”
