It's a bearish start to the day for NEM's XEM and things could go from bad to worse if there's not an early afternoon recovery, sub-$0.19 support levels in play, while NEM's XEM continues to fall short of key resistance levels.
NEM’s XEM fell by 1.1% on Wednesday, following Tuesday’s 0.13% gain, to end the day at $0.1959.
Following the broader market, an early sell-off saw NEM’s XEM fall through the day’s first major support level at $0.1931 to test support at the day’s second major support level at $0.1881, with an intraday low $0.18978 before recovering to $0.19 levels.
While NEM’s XEM managed to bounce to an afternoon $0.19861 high, the day’s intraday high $0.19868 came at the start of the day, with the first major resistance level at $0.2039 and the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level at $0.2473 left untested through the day, to leave the extended bearish trend, formed at late April’s swing hi $0.46541 intact.
At the time of writing, NEM’s XEM was down 2.07% to $0.19185, with an end of day pullback on Wednesday continuing through the morning, NEM’s XEM following the broader market into the red.
A mid-morning high $0.1963 left NEM’s XEM short of the day’s first major resistance level at $0.1998, with a late morning slide to $0.18976 seeing NEM’s XEM slide through the day’s first major support level at $0.1909 to bring the day’s second major support level at $0.1859 into play.
For the day ahead, a move back through $0.1948 would support a run at the morning’s $0.1963 high to bring the day’s first major resistance level at $0.1998 into play though, with sentiment across the broader market on the negative side, the broader market will need to see a material rebound for NEM’s XEM to take a run at $0.1998 that would bring $0.20 levels back into play.
Failure to move through $0.1948 to the morning’s high could see NEM’s XEM take a bigger hit later in the day, with a fall through the day’s second major support level at $0.1859 in play should sentiment not improve through the afternoon.
In spite of the morning’s losses and the extended bearish trend, NEM’s XEM remains some way off 13th June’s swing lo $0.17988, suggesting NEM’s XEM may have bottomed out, though a pullback remains on the cards should NEM’s XEM fail to break back through to $0.20 levels and begin making a move towards the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.2473.
