Key Quotes

“The market needs to overcome the current November high at 1.1500 to alleviate immediate downside pressure and allows for gains to 1.1555/1.1622 (2018 downtrend and 16th October high). Dips lower will ideally be contained by the 1.1262 level – this guards the 1.1216 November low.”

“Below the 1.1216 current November low lies the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2017-18 advance at 1.1186. Failure there would put the late May and June 2017 lows at 1.1119/10 on the cards.”

“Long term trend (1-3 months): A rise above the recent high at 1.1625 would confirm a trend reversal and put the 55 week moving average at 1.1852 back on the cards.”
