· Daily Chart: we have tested the highs of the range @ 1187.7,
barely reaching the sell-zone overhead, and today’s candlestick was BEARISH
which shows how little conviction there was at those highs. We have now added a target down at the lows @

· 32-Anchor Chart:
price-action pulled back to the lows of the long term bullish price
channel and we are looking for buying opportunities at the 1166.6 buy-zone. Look closely, you can see multiple levels of
symmetry down at 1163.0 and again at 1157.0 which makes for easy buying
opportunities.
