  • $1,735/45 to be tested in the correction in a 50% mean reversion of hourly bearish impulse.

Meanwhile, the bears are testing the bullish commitments at an old area of resistance:

This area would be expected to hold initial attempts to break below. 

This gives rise to the prospects of a significant correction of the recent bearish impulse.

A healthy Fibonacci retracement to the region between a 38.2% Fino and the 50% mean reversion level has a confluence with the prior lows of $1,760.72. 

With that being said, from an hourly perspective, there are prospects of a downside continuation to test deeper into the liquidity of the daily support and demand territory should a test of $1,735/45 prove are a strong wall of resistance.
