Key Quotes:
"The focus is now on the 1.4953 January low. Key support remains the 1.4910/1.4813, a long term Fibonacci retracement and the 2013 low. Longer term this is expected to act as the break down point to 1.4291/29, the 78.6% retracement of the move from 2009 and the 2010 low."
"The Elliott wave count on the daily chart is suggesting that 1.5550 was the end of the short term correction higher and we continue to view this as an interim peak. Intraday rallies are expected to remain capped circa 1.5130/1.5225."
