Commerzbank says more topside to come after last week's break above its 200DMA, 3- month downtrend and key-day bullish reversal. Now at 1.3032, she says allow for a move into the 1.3110-1.3180 area, possibly even 1.3225 before signs of topside failure appear. On the downside, strong support is the 200DMA at 1.2899
