Immediate support is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 1903. A confirmatory close under this point exposes the midpoint at 1848. Otherwise, in the event of a turn higher, keep a close eye on the falling trendline from April. This could hold as resistance, maintaining the near-term downside focus.
