Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expected the index to rise to 101.8 in November. The results showed consumers shrugging off uncertainty ahead of the U.S. presidential election, as most people in the survey were contacted before Nov. 8. A small sample of respondents was polled following the election, with a cutoff date of Nov. 15.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, selling the pair on a breakout below the trendline support appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
