The contract failed to break a resistance at 3,858 ringgit and a falling trendline. The failure suggests a continuation of the downtrend from 4,495 ringgit.

The trend may extend below 3,220 ringgit.

A realistic target could be either 3,652 ringgit or 3,570 ringgit.

A break above 3,754 ringgit could lead to a gain to 3,824 ringgit.
