Overview

A strong break of the 129.66 support confirmed resumption of a whole decline from 141.04. Intraday bias remains on the downside for the moment. A break of lower channel support (now at 128.56) will indicate downside acceleration and target a test at the 126.09 key support level. On the upside, movements above 130.16 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But the near-term outlook will stay bearish as long as the 134.58 resistance holds. We expect more range trading between 126.09 and 149.76 in the medium term. Then it should be followed by an upside breakout at a later stage. Nonetheless, a break of 126.09 would extend the correction towards 61.8% retracement at 115.36.
