Bollinger Bands expanded significantly as volatility increased. Price closed near the lower band, suggesting potential for a retracement. However, a breakout below the lower band could signal further downside.

Fibonacci Retracements
The drop from 101.9 to 96.8 covers a 5.1% move. A 38.2% retracement target is at 99.0, while 61.8% is near 97.8. Current price is approaching the 50% level (99.3), which could act as a pivot for the next 24 hours.
Price appears to be consolidating near critical support levels. A break below 97.4 could test the next major level at 96.8. Investors should watch for a potential reversal at key Fib levels or a continuation of bearish momentum. Risks remain skewed to the downside in the near term.
