Talking Points
- Strategy: Long, Target: 119.80, Stop: 117.80 (Daily Close)
- Dojis Suggest Bulls Lacking Fuel Near Key Support
- Intraday Trade Reveals Reluctance From Traders

The four hour chart tells a similar story to the daily with a snaking series of short-body candles suggesting caution in intraday trade. An absence of clearer cues from candlesticks leaves a more constructive setup desired.
