“This includes the 112.13 March high, the 112.04 200 week ma, the 112.43 55 quarter moving average and the 112.80 2015-2019 downtrend. This is extremely tough resistance and should cap the topside.”

“Failure at cloud support is needed to alleviate immediate upside pressure and will re-target the 109.70 recent low. The 109.70 low guards the 38.2% retracement at 109.06 and there is scope for the 50% retracement at 108.11. The base of the cloud lies at 108.11.”
