Key Quotes

"Having defended 140.15 (minor 38.2 %) in the last setback, a straight extension up towards 152.07 (int. 76.4 %) is still favored."

"It requires confirmation via a break above 144.46 (minor 76.4 %)."

"Below, a deeper setback to 140.15 if not to the key-T-junction at 137.77 (38.2 % on higher scale) could still be looming."
