   “¢   The cross managed to find decent buying interest near the 142.00 handle and built on the overnight strong upsurge, hitting near two-week tops in the last hour.

   “¢   With technical indicators on hourly charts holding comfortably in bullish territory, a follow-through up-move beyond 142.70 horizontal zone would mark a near-term bullish breakout.

   “¢   However, indicators on the daily chart are yet to catch up with the positive momentum and might turn out to be the only factor that might keep a lid on any meaningful up-move.
