Support and resistance

A continuation of the decline is seen as a more likely scenario of movement but for this the quotes will need to overcome the support zone of 1778.50–1757.00 (correction 23.6% for D1, correction 38.2% for H4, the middle line of Bollinger bands for D1), and if successful, downward dynamics will continue to 1728.60 (correction 61.8% for H4), 1694.00 (correction 0.0% for D1). If 1788.00 (the middle line of Bollinger bands for H4) is broken upwards, growth will be able to resume to 1802.00 (correction 0.0% for H4) and 1829.40 (correction 38.2% for D1).
