  • While on annualized basis, Denmark's Gross Domestic Product expanded 2.50 percent in the second quarter. 
     
  • Momentum indicators are bullish - RSI strong at 61.88, MACD support upside and Stochs indicate a bullish crossover. 
     
  • Immediate resistance is located at  6.8380, close above could take it till 6.8500. 
     
  • On the downside, support is seen at 6.8051 (7-EMA), and any break below will take it till 6.7897.
