Key Quotes

“The market has recently charted a key day reversal from the 200 day moving average at .9735 and we view the uptrend as exposed. Failure here will trigger losses towards the 38.2% retracement at .9410.”

“Above .9757, would allow for a possible extension of the up move towards 0.9920, the 61.8% retracement. Here we also find the 55 and 200 week moving averages at .9897/.9929 and here we expect to see failure. But should the .9410 support not hold, we suspect the chances of this outcome will diminish.”
