Price analyst Rakesh Upadhay writes today that a break in the downward trend line of the symmetric triangle will indicate that the bulls have outperformed the bears and a new trend will start. He expects inertia to hold the price to an annual high of $ 13,973. Although the rally may meet resistance at $ 12,304.37 and $ 13,156.96, it expects these levels to be curtailed.
