The 54700-51500 congestion regions have been still progressing. Even though, either the side breakout is required to suggest a directional move, intraday we favour an upside breakout and take prices higher towards 55200 initially, followed by 55600/56900 later. Conversely, inability to clear above 54700 prices may trade with mild negative bias.
