Resistance, Support:
- Note that price failed to push above the 200-day simple moving average, which acted as resistance. Price retreated sharply from this resistance, showing weakness of the bulls.
- The daily chart shows that the price action was bullish in August and September but became choppier afterwards, though it did make higher highs and higher lows. 
- Now, price is testing the rising wedge support.
- We should give it some elbow space and a chance for the market to buy here around 9.70.
- If price breaks lower, we should consider the bearish continuation scenario.
- The bearish scenario gains traction if the RSI breaks below 40, which would show killing off of the prevailing bullish momentum since September. 
- Also, evidence of resistance at 10.00 with ability to break below 9.00, should add weight to this bearish outlook, which will have the 7.30-7.50 lows in sight, with the all-time-lows around 4.00 also in sight, if subsequent bullish attempts are rejected.
