It resulted in a downside move below the $6,550 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price moved into a bearish zone as it cleared the important $6,500 support as well.

Finally, it tested the 1.236 Fib extension level of the last wave from the $6,491 low to $6,687 high. The price formed an intraday low at $6,441 and it is currently correcting higher. An initial resistance is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $6,687 high to $6,441 low.
