Key Quotes
“Attention is on the 1.2015 recent low and TD support at 1.1988. Below 1.1988 lies the 1.1491 3 rd October low (according to CQG). It remains on the defensive below the 55 day ma at 1.2357 – this protects the June high at 1.2784. Intraday rallies are indicated to terminate ahead of the 1.2142 20 day ma.”
“Only a rise above the June high at 1.2784 would indicate that a bottom is being formed (not favoured).”
