Technicals
4-hour chart
- Over the last 24 hours, the dips below the 4-hr 50-MA have been short lived. Still, the possibility of a head and shoulders reversal pattern cannot be ruled out, especially if the failure at the descending trend line hurdle of $4204 levels is followed by a break below $3850 levels.
- The neckline support of the head and shoulders pattern stands at $3458 levels, which is also the 38.2% Fib retracement of the rally from the July low to Aug high.
- Record highs likely if resistance at $4204 is breached
Daily chart
- A break above the descending trend line hurdle of $4204 seen on the 4-hour chart would add credence to the sharp recovery from the low of $3587 seen on Tuesday and open doors for a revisit to record high of $4464 levels.
