“If the 109.77 August low were to give way, the June 8 low at 109.20 would be in focus. Failure there would imply a slide back to the 108.12 May 29 low and the mid- February high at 107.91.”
“Rallies will find initial resistance at 112.23 the 6 th December low and the 112.92/113.02 (the 20 and 55 day ma) ahead of the top of the range at 113.84. A close above here is needed to confirm scope to the 114.55 October high.”
