Key Quotes

“We need to overcome the 55 day moving average, last week’s high at 1.1264 and the 2018-2019 downtrend at 1.1302 in order to alleviate downside pressure and reassert upside interest. This is a tall order at present and is likely to take several attempts.”

“Intraday rallies are indicated to fail around 1.1160. Be advised that as long as the recent lows at 1.1110/06 hold the pattern being traced out is a potential large bullish reversal pattern.”

“Support at 1.1110/06 is regarded as the break down point to the 2018-2019 support line at 1.1033 and the 1.0814 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.”
