As long as the channel support holds, the uptrend could be expected to continue and a breakout of 114.73 level could trigger another rise to test 115.50 resistance. Above this level could signal resumption of the long term uptrend from 98.97 (Jun 24, 2016 low), then next target would be at 118.66 (Dec 15, 2016 high).
