Price broke below the bullish channel and the recently formed support. The recent support became the new resistance. Price may go for the retest and come back, as it seems to be losing the bullish pressure. The RSI line is at 44.72, showing neutral overbought and sold condition. Traders may wait for the price to breach above the resistance or take a retest at the broken zone.
