“Currently though we remain unable to rule out the risk of a slide to the 200 week ma at .8411 (although this is less favoured).”

“The market is expected to struggle on rallies to the 200 day ma at .8830, and only above here allows for a move to the October .8941 high, which is expected to contain the topside.”
