Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at 133.75 (S1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 132.97 (S2). To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 136.57 as a potential indicator of buying interest.
