  • The major is extending upside for 3rd straight session, is attempting retrace into slopping channel.

  • Next bull target lies at 110.37 (nearly converged 38.2% Fib and 20-DMA) ahead of 111 handle.
     
  • On the downside we see immediate support at 5-DMA, breach there will see resumption of downside.
     
  • Focus now on nonfarm payrolls due later in the US session for further impetus.
