Key Quotes:
"From a technical perspective, the daily chart shows that, despite having advanced above the mentioned moving averages, these last lack directional strength, still flat and in a 20 pips range. The technical indicators, however, present a strong upward momentum in overbought territory, in line with a continued advance."
"Shorter term, the 4 hours chart shows that the technical indicators have lost their upward strength and turned lower, but that they are still in extreme overbought levels. Given the limited retracement from the high and the tight consolidation near it, the risk remains towards the upside, with the market now targeting the year's high at 125.80."
