The rally off last Wednesday’s low has resulted in a break of 5.0915, the Apr 3 high, to confirm a resumption of the bull cycle that started late December last year. The 5.10 handle has been cleared and this signals scope for a climb towards 5.2202, the Oct 6 ‘23 high. Today’s gains reinforce current conditions.
