Daily studies weakened after the action was repeatedly capped by the base of rising daily cloud, as moving averages turned to full bearish setup and momentum remains deeply in the negative territory, warning that larger downtrend may resume after a mild correction.
Fresh bears cracked pivotal 91.01 support (100DMA/Fibo 38.2% of 90.37/91.36 recovery leg) with daily close below the support to further weaken near-term structure.
