  • SUP 4: 148.65 Low Dec 03 and the bear trigger

Prices slipped Monday, but an over-arching bullish condition remains. The breach of 156.75, the Nov 15 high and a bull trigger, confirmed a resumption of the uptrend and has paved the way for a move towards 159.45, the Jul 12 high. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position highlighting a clear dominant uptrend. Initial firm support is 155.01, the 20-day EMA. A pullback would be considered corrective.
