I have plotted the arrows fairly bullishly so we may not get a dip down to the 6775 area, but instead just follow that 30min channel upwards, but it will be interesting to see if we (a) dip off 6840, and (b) how far. The crossed to bull on the 30min chart in the early hours, so we could well get an initial run towards 6720, and ultimately a rise above the 200ema at 6740ish
