Additionally, the weekly wick is expected to be filled in on lower time frames.
Daily chart
The daily time frame shows that the price has also corrected a recent daily bearish impulse.
The correction is significant enough to expect a downside extension of the impulse in the coming sessions.
The 4-hour time frame offers a trade set-up with a 1:3 risk to reward ratio as follows:
As illustrated in the above chart, a sell limit, stop loss and TP market order could be placed with an entry around $23.46 to offer a 1:3 risk to reward when the price breaks towards the next expected support.
