back to 123-01+/123-20 where a channel top and 21-DMA are situated. Bears remain
focused on 120-25+/121-22+ while 122-20 caps but need a close below 121-31 to

daily bull channel top (2.787) is situated. Bears need a close below 2.609 to
ease bullish pressure and below the 21-DMA (2.553) to initially pressure
