Key quotes

“We continue to look for the recovery to stall here and for the immediate risk to shift lower again. Support is seen at 106.43 initially, then 106.25/20, which we look to try and hold at first. Below 105.93 though is needed to ease the immediate upside bias with support then seen next at 105.70, with a break here needed for a retest of 105.33/27.” 

“Should strength extend above 107.06 we see resistance next at the late July high at 107.53, then the 50% retracement at 107.95, with more important resistance seen not far above at the 200-day average and downtrend at 108.13/17.”
