A clear break would open 19.0659, the 76.4% retracement point. Price action is likely to be volatile near-term. Today's move lower exposes support at 18.6058, the 20-day EMA, and 18.4798, the 50-day EMA. Clearance of this EMA support zone would instead highlight a possible short-term bearish reversal.
