Key quotes of Credit Suisse
“Support is seen at 1.2640 initially – the 23.6% retracement of the May/June rally – then key price support at 1.2619. Beneath this latter level is needed to see a near-term top established to warn of a more concerted retracement lower with support seen next at the 13-day average at 1.2569, then the 38.2% retracement and price support at 1.2535/33., which we look to try and hold.”
“Resistance is seen at 1.2725/28 initially, with a break above 1.2755 needed to see the risk turn higher again for a retest of 1.2813/17, with the potential downtrend from December last year seen at 1.2850 today.”
