We are bullish bias- Price has pulled back slightly but if bullish momentum continues, it should test the first resistance at 140.802 and then the second resistance at 141.841 where the 127.2% extension sits. Alternatively, if price reverse, it might pull back to test the first support at 138.263 where the 23.6% retracement sits then the second support at 136.294 levels
