Key Quotes

“We would allow for a small rebound, but are looking for this to remain relatively tepid and look for the topside to remain ideally contained by the
resistance line at .9294.”

“We then look for a break below 0.9043 to trigger the next leg down to the
0.8848 August low and 0.8745, the base of a 2 year down channel. The
0.9043 level is expected to act as the next trigger on the downside.
Intraday rallies should still remain capped by 0.9170/.9238.”

“An immediate negative bias will be maintained while rallies rema
in capped by the .9294 6 week resistance line.”
