On the H4, price is seen to be holding below the descending trendline resistance, signifying a bearish momentum.  Price is approaching the 1st resistance where price is in line with the descending trendline resistance, hence we can expect price to drop from 1st Resistance in line with 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement and 100% Fibonacci projection towards the 1st Support in line with 100% Fibonacci Projection and 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement. Our bearish bias is further supported by the stochastic indicator where the %K line is reaching the resistance level awaiting for a drop.

Our bullish bias is supported by the ichimoku where price is moving above it along with the existing ascending trend line.

Areas of consideration:

  • 4H resistance at 34685
