We had written that there had been a bull harami pattern on the weekly charts and that this pointed to higher prices in the short term and a test of $1215 resistance early in the week.

For a change, the markets have had a quiet start to the week and there have been no major announcements out over the weekend and nothing too major happening in the Asian markets, which are several hours ahead of ours.
