In doing so, the early-month tops surrounding 144.45/50 will be in the buyers’ immediate focus. A break of which could propel prices to December 16 top of 146.82 and then towards the previous month high surrounding 148.00.

During the quote’s further rise past-148.00, 148.90 and 150.00 will grab the Bull’s attention.
