On a correction, however, the 21-day moving average is key on the upside, but the bears can approach 1,478 as the 13 August volatility spike low which guards the 19 July swing highs at 1,452.93. at this juncture. Bulls will need to get back above 1,550 which then guards prospects for 1,590 as the 127.2% Fibo target area.
