$1.3461-1.3514 and overall focus to $1.36561.3702 where 2017 highs and the bull

with focus having returned to these supports. Bears remain focused on the
200-DMA with a close below needed to pressure Y111.48 and below this level to
shift focus to 55 (Y110.70) & 100 (111.12) DMAs. Below the 55-DMA hints at a
move back to 2017 lows with below Y109.52 to confirm. Bulls look for a close
above Y112.89 to ease pressure on key supports and initially target Y113.44-70.

room and above Y133.49 to shift focus to Y134.25-59 where 2017 and monthly highs
are situated. Narrowing Bollinger bands suggest a breakout in the near future.
