Key Quotes

“The market now stays directly offered below the 7th June high at 1.2763. It will need to regain the February low at 1.2772 on a closing basis in order to alleviate immediate downside pressure and avert further losses to the 1.2444 December 2018 low. This is the last defence for 1.2108, the 78.6% retracement of the move up from 2016.”

“Above the 200 day moving average at 1.2937. This would target the 1.3185/97 April and May highs.”
