Ichimoku analysis of daily chart:

Tenkan Sen: 16338.50

Kijun Sen: 13771

On the topside, a decisive break above 19000 would see the pair testing 19117 (161.8% retracement of 16666.66 and 12701.05)/19666 (December 17 high). Further strength would target 19817 (200% extension of 2972.01 and 11395)/20000/20391 (127.2% extension of 2972.01 and 16666.66)/20632.

On the reverse side, support is seen at 18191 (5-DMA) and a break below would drag the pair to 17878 (1h 100-SMA)/ 17243 (2h 90-EMA). Further weakness would see it testing 16961 (10-DMA)/15557 (4h 90-EMA)/14582 (20-DMA).

Momentum studies: Overall bias remains bullish with no major sign of reversal – MACD line is above the signal line and major moving averages are biased higher. The long lower wick of the candle today suggests stronger bullish bias.

However, bearish RSI divergence and stochs in overbought zone call for high caution.

Call Update: We recommended going long in our previous call. All the targets have been hit.

Recommendation: Book partial profits, stay long. Trail stop to 16900. TP: 20000
