Key Quotes

“We maintain that stops should be tightened as the 13 count on the TD combo and TD perfected set up suggest a warning for further moves higher at present, however currently the market remains extremely bid and looks set to extend gains to the 1.6035 78.6% retracement of the move seen this year.”

“While above the 1.5760 accelerated uptrend, we remain unable to rule out further upside probes. Only a close below here will alleviate extreme upside pressure for a slide back to the 1.5605 uptrend.”
