The flat congestion range is expected to break higher. In the event we crack support at 1,100 there is secondary support that will hold up the longer term bull cycle.Flat/triangle range is viewed as a bullish set up as long as Renesas holds 1,100 support. RSI drifting lower with as price trades flat is typically a bullish set up (hidden bull divergence).Macro support rests at 800 and if seen would be the ideal buy zone. Macro rally target at 1,840.
