Fibonacci Retracements

A 38.2% retracement level at 36.78 and a 61.8% level at 36.47 may cap near-term recovery attempts, especially in response to the 05:15 ET low.

Looking ahead, a retest of the 36.78 level could confirm a potential rebound. However, sustained trading below 36.81 may signal further downside. Investors should monitor volume behavior and RSI for momentum cues.
