Key quotes

“The market is consolidating and is now triple bearishly divergent in the short term, suggesting a pause or potentially even a correction.”

“Resistances above $1700/05 are eventually seen at $1734, the 78.6% retracement of the 2011/15 downmove, then the $1796/1803 corrective highs from 2011/12. Big picture, we still look for new record highs above $1921.”

“Imminent support moves to $1567/63, the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the whole November 2019/February 2020 upmove.”

“More of a concern would be a drop below $1548/36, as a break below here would likely complete a top, which is not our base case.”
