Key Quotes
“This represents recent highs and its long term Fibonacci retracement. We remain unable to rule out another failure here and a deeper retracement taking hold to 102.05 and possibly 101.00, the 38.2% and 50% retracements of the move up from October.!
“We have become more negative short term because not only has the market reversed from its long term Fibonacci retracement at 105.49, BUT we have a 13 count and also a divergence of the daily and weekly RSI. All 3 factors suggest that the market has topped for now.”
