The support is provided by the 176.4 percent Fibonacci projection level of a wave C that developed from the Aug. 8 high of $1,322.60. The next support will be at $1,194, the 200 percent level.
So far there has not been any obvious bullish reversal signal to indicate a completion of the downtrend, and chances are this trend may extend further.
Resistance is at $1,218, the 161.8 percent level, a break above which may trigger a further gain to $1,226, the 150 percent level.
