Technical Indicators Notes:

Last time we said: "Range bound. At the highs. It is a wide range, but a
range nevertheless. Usually, ranges are continuation patterns, so we have a
bias for the LONG side, but because it is so well defined, and because
ranges are all over the place, we want to wait for more hints."

No big change. If you consider the move in GOLD, this asset is in sleeping
mode, while being in the same asset class: commodity. (Look in GOLD
commentary for more). We have drawn, two small new trend lines that show a
potential for the downside, and therefore we set our SHORT entry level
higher.

RSI-STOC Combination: Neutral.
ATR: Getting to a level where volatility starts to increase.
MACD: Daily in a positive setup and momentum but H4 indecisive.
