Key Quotes

“Once a daily chart close above the 1.3467 high has been seen, the March and late May 2017 highs at 1.3532/45 will be in focus, followed by the November and December 2016 highs at 1.3588/97. Further up sits the December 2018 peak at 1.3664.”

“We will retain our now short-term bullish view while no unexpected drop takes the cross below the mid-March and the current April low at 1.3276/50. Unexpected failure there would put the 200 day moving average and the seven month uptrend line at 1.3245/12 on the cards.”

“Further down the 2018-19 uptrend line can be spotted at 1.3087. Still further down sits the October trough at 1.2783.”
