If there is a fresh decline, the price could revisit the $4,015 support. The first major support sits at $4,000. The next support could be $3,960, below which the price might slide to $3,940. The main support sits at $3,915. Any more losses might call for a test of $3,880 or even $3,865 in the coming days.
