But most likely, the corrective decline will be limited by the important short-term support level 4437.0 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), and if the growth resumes, the breakdown of the local resistance level at 4469.0 will be a signal to build up long positions.

In an alternative scenario, a breakdown of the support level 4437.0 could trigger a deeper correction to support levels 4378.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 4350.0 (ЕМА50 and the lower line of the ascending channel on the daily chart. Their breakdown, in turn, will signal a further decline to support levels 4140.0 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 4030.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart).
