Technical Levels to Watch

Here is an ultra-short-term playbook on the 1-hour chart for day traders.

Price has retraced to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 64.87. A further drop targets 59.25 (50% Fibo retracement) or 53.64 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement level). The latter is also where the 1300 hours candle found support.

On the other hand, continuing the uptrend requires a bounce on the 64.87 support pivot, where the channel’s trendline is found. Short-term targets for this move lie at 71.81 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement), 83.03 and possibly the 87.36 price mark (21 June daily high).
