A number of short-term support points have been cleared and the cross is fast approaching key support at 140.77, the Dec 2 low and bear trigger. A break of this level would resume the bear cycle that started on Oct 21 and open 140.00, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance is seen at 143.50, the Dec 14 low and a very recent breakout level.
