Moreover, there was a break below the key $186 support area. Finally, there was a close below the $184 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). The bears gained pace below the $180 level and a low was formed near the $177 level.

It seems like the $176-$178 support area is playing a crucial role for the bulls. Recently, there was an upside correction above the $180 level. Furthermore, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $190 swing high to $177 low.
