Key Quotes
“While the initial dip held above 111.30 as expected (low of 111.36), the subsequent rebound from the low exceeded the 112.30 target with a high of 112.48. From here, a retest of 112.45/50 will not be surprising but 112.80 is expected to cap for a pull-back to 111.90”.
“The rebound from the low of 110.65 has been more resilient than expected but as long as 113.00 is intact, another leg lower to 110.00 is still a possibility but we must admit that the odds have diminished and will continue to diminish if the current short-term consolidation were to persist”.
