There's support around 29,088, but not enough volume to push up and take out yesterday's bearish engulfing candle. Yesterday was crazy: one candle took out the three before it, so we're still in a continuation to the downside.
This is trading education, not a signal or a promise.
THE LEVELS The key level is 29,135. My projection is a nice little bounce.
THE ONE HOUR Nasty consolidation. Overnight it sold off at six o'clock, basically the same pattern as yesterday: all the way down, then consolidate. Now we see whether price holds below 29,135 and continues to the downside, or goes up and revisits 29,373.
THE NEW LEVEL On the daily there's another level to add: 28,933. That's where I want to see price come down to, and we're not too far off.
A level is a reference drawn in advance, not a forecast.
