On the H4 timeframe, prices are on bearish momentum and abiding to our descending trendline. We would expect a dip from our 1st resistance at 96.272 in line which is an area of fibonacci confluences towards our 1st support at 95.997 in line with 100% Fibonacci retracement. Ichimoku is supporting our bearish bias.

On the H4 chart, prices have recently broken out of our ascending trendline support. We would watch for a potential reversal at 1st support 1800.28 in line with 61.8% FIbonacci retracement towards our 1st resistance at 1825.517 which is an area of Fibonacci confluences. Technical indicators are showing bullish momentum. Alternatively, prices may climb higher towards our 2nd resistance at 1846.275 which is the next area of Fibonacci confluences.

Our short-term bullish bias is further supported by the RSI indicator abiding to the ascending trendline support.
