  • Price action remains choppy and USD longs are obviously nervous amid crowded positioning
  • The topside was capped at 122 overnight, amid profit-taking flows from specs and offers from corporate names
  • Pivotal short-term support seen at 120.60, with 120.00 then psychological support
  • Keep an eye on US equities as both the S&P and DJIA are down almost 1 % on the day
