For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 20.2181, the Aug 5 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 20.7642, the 76.4% retracement of the bear leg between Nov ‘21 and Apr this year. Initial resistance is 19.4811, the 20-day EMA.

It is still possible that the sell-off is a correction, however, the break of the average does signal scope for a deeper retracement. A continuation down would expose the next key support at 5.3768, the Aug 19 low. Clearance of this support would strengthen a bearish theme. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on resistance at 5.6917, the Aug 30 high.

For bulls, a reversal and a break of resistance at 951.80, the Sep 10 high, would reinstate a bullish theme.
