Key Quotes
“While the current August high at 99.95 caps on a daily New York closing basis, we will maintain our medium term bearish forecast.”
“Failure at last week’s 96.91 low will push the three month support line at 96.48 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the June-to-July rise at 95.42 to the fore.”
“Below these lies the five month support line at 94.95. Over the coming weeks we allow for losses back to the 94.47/93.75 support area. This is where the 200 day moving average and the June low are to be found.”
