Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at 144.33 (S1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 143.48 (S2). To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 147.34 as a potential indicator of buying interest.
