The price is now back into the old wedge formation following a spike through resistance in what could be termed as a fake-out that simply went to grab more liquidity from an area that was previously marked as a target for the open. 

At this juncture, there is a bias to the downside and a break of 154.40 opens the risk of a test to 154 the figure as the last defence of a potentially significant downside breakout of the bearish wedge formaton.
