Key Quotes:
“A bull break out from the triangle consolidation in play since the late January peak in spot, driven by yesterday’s bullish outside range session”.
“These consolidations usually resolve in the direction of the underlying trend, as is the case here (higher)”.
“The break out targets a rise in the low 1.15s over the next 1-2 months but we note that a clear move through 1.1225/35 (50% retracement of the 1.31/0.94 move down) would suggest a move towards 1.1650/1.17 in the slightly longer (3-6 months) run”.
