Key Quotes

“Coupled with the divergence of the daily RSI, we should see the market come under pressure this week.”

“Attention should revert to the uptrend at 1.3711, but in order to alleviate upside pressure a close below the uptrend is needed."

"Failure here together with the 1.3625 20th December low should provoke a return visit to 1.3325/1.3295 (recent low, Fibo and 200 day ma).”

“Rebounds should now struggle 1.3810/33 and be contained by 1.3894.”
