Thursday’s strong fall which resulted in close below a cluster of daily MA’s (55/10/100) was negative signal, with price being pressured by widening daily cloud which twisted today.
Negative momentum is building and adding to bearish outlook, which needs confirmation on close below cracked pivotal Fibo support at $68.53 (61.8% of $66.85/$71.25 upleg), reinforced by rising 20SMA.
