Key quotes
“With the core uptrend clearly intact, we maintain our core bullish outlook. We see resistance next at 31370, the August 1990 high ahead of our long-term objective of the 78.6% retracement of the entire fall from 1989 at 32115/20 in reach, where we would expect to see a pause and a fresh phase of consolidation. A direct break though can expose the 33345 high of June 1990.”
“Immediate support moves higher to 29790, then 29660/520, which we look to now ideally hold. Below can ease the immediate upside bias for a move back to the 13-day exponential average at 29065 before the previous consolidation high at 28980, where we expect fresh buyers to emerge.”
