Key quotes

“While dips hold above 109.66 an immediate upside bias is maintained and for now a slight upside bias persists.”

“Last week the market rallied towards the 50% retracement at 112.43 (of the move down from 2015), where it has so far failed. Only below the 108.77 uptrend would upside pressure abate.”
