Bullish Scenario

A sustained move over 26245 will indicate the presence of buyers. If it continues to generate enough upside momentum then look for a surge into the short-term Fibonacci level at 26494. This is followed closely by the minor top at 26559. This is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the upside with the next target angle coming in at 26821.

Bearish Scenario

A sustained move under 26245 will signal the presence of sellers. This is followed closely by the short-term 50% level at 26215. Taking out this level could lead to a test of the steep uptrending Gann angle at 26034, followed closely by the main 50% level at 26012.

The trigger point for an acceleration to the downside is 26012.
