On the H4, with price broken out of the ascending trendline and moving below the Ichimoku indicator, we have a bearish bias that price will drop to our 1st support where 161.8 Fibonacci extension sits. The chart has confirmed a downside momentum and is now going to test the next key support level at 131.476. Alternatively, price could bounce back to test at its previous wing low at 133.339 which coincides with Fibonacci 23.6% retracement

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 133.339
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 132.282
