Key Quotes
“After several days of strong gains, USD pulled back sharply last Friday and is currently approaching the key 102.70 support”.
“The risk of a short-term top has increased considerably and unless USD can move and stay above 103.80 within these 1 to 2 days, a break below 102.70 would not be surprising”.
“A breach of 102.70 would indicate that 104.15 is a short-term peak (just below the revised target of 104.30) and the start of a neutral consolidation phase, likely within a broad 102.00/104.00 range”.
