Key Quotes

“While capped by the resistance line at 1.3010 it will remain offered. Support at 1.2711/1.2662, the August low and 3 month support line is being eroded. Below 1.2662 would trigger further weakness to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2016-2018 advance and the June 2017 low at 1.2593/89. Above 1.3010 lies the November 14 high at 1.3072. Further resistance comes in at the 1.3175 November high below which we will retain a longer term bearish bias.”

“Long term trend (1-3 months): Support at 1.2662 guards 1.2589/57, the November 2016, February 2017, and early April 2017 highs as well as the June 2017 low.”
