Interestingly, as the image above shows, the bears filled the ‘fair value gap,’ which expands in a narrow range between $63.5 and $63.2. This drop in the LTC value to the FVG (Fair Value Gap) could cause the price to revert and turn bearish.

Overall, the technical indicators suggest the primary trend is bearish and should resume to lower support levels.

The primary trend is bearish, with immediate support at the CD wave’s %50 Fibonacci retracement level at $64.5, in conjunction with the 50-period SMA.
